How do I choose the correct size?

Where can I find additional help if I get stuck?

Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up during construction.

Double-check your cutting accuracy and ensure you're using the correct seam allowance. Review the pattern markings and ensure that the notches and match points align correctly. Pin carefully before sewing.

The pants fit too tight or loose after construction.

Check your measurements against the pattern's size chart before cutting. Consider making a muslin (test garment) to adjust the fit. Make alterations to the pattern before cutting into your final fabric.

Pockets don't look right.

Ensure correct pocket piece alignment before sewing. Reinforce the pocket openings to prevent wear and tear. Consider topstitching around the pocket opening to keep the pockets in place.
