Instructions
Step 1
Choose a fabric. For banana trousers, it should be light and fold well. Suitable for natural and artificial silk, viscose knitwear, thin raincoat fabric, etc. The amount of material depends on your size and fabric width. With a width of 140 cm or more, one length will be enough, unless you have very wide hips.
Step 2
Take a pattern of any straight trousers. Pajama pants work best in this case. They are always made free, but they can also be of different styles. If the pants are sewn from only two parts, then you can not unpick them, but circle them directly, making allowances for seams and hem. A four-piece pajama pants are best cut open. Any other loose old trousers should also be ripped open, and the grooves too - you will not need them.
Step 3
Fold the wide fabric in half along the lobe. Circle the pattern. If the fabric is narrow, fold it weft so that the pieces can be cut in pairs. For the waistband, cut a strip that is the same length as your waist, plus seam allowances. Its width is 6-8 cm.
Step 4
Slices can be immediately processed with an overlock, especially if the fabric is heavily frayed. Sweep and grind the crotch seams, and then the side seams. Iron the allowances.
Step 5
Try on your pants. Fold in the pleats and pin them together with tailor's pins or sweep them together. They should be located symmetrically relative to the middle of the front and back parts, regardless of whether you are sewing banana trousers from two parts or from two.
Step 6
Fold the belt in half lengthwise with the wrong side inward and iron the fold line. Fold the long seam allowances inward and iron too. Align the front cut of the waistband with the top of the pants. Sweep and stitch the details. Then, on the wrong side, stitch the second cut of the belt, trying to get into the already existing seam.
Step 7
Fold in the leg twice by 1.5-2 cm. Baste the hem and stitch or hem the trousers by hand. Slip elastic into the legs and waistband and adjust the length of the elastic.
