Instructions
Step 1
All ingenious is simple! Including Afghans. Afghanis are sewn from soft-draped fabrics, for example, knitwear, silk, viscose, and for cooler days, you can sew trousers from corduroy or semi-wool. Choose any color, Afghani can be monochromatic, and with oriental motives, and even in military style. You can sew them both long and short. In such pants it is very convenient to practice yoga and oriental dances.
Step 2
The pattern of the pants is a rectangle that consists of three squares. The side of the square is equal to the length of the leg. Therefore, you will need to purchase a cut equal to three lengths of your pants. Use a ruler and tailor's chalk to mark the squares on the fabric. Overlock or zig-zag the fabric on the sewing machine with matching threads.
Step 3
Fold the middle square diagonally, you should have two squares and a triangle. Then fold the squares in half towards the open edges of the triangle. These are the future pant legs. And the triangle in the middle is the cuff of the pants. Sew the edges of the squares, its vertical sides with the horizontal side of the square in the middle.
Step 4
The side where you have a right angle will be the belt. Stitch the waistband, fold it right over to the top of the pants, and sew on the sewing machine. Fold the waistband in half and stitch with the seam allowance tucked in. The belt can be decorated with an elastic band or sewn in a drawstring. To do this, lay a few lines on the belt at a distance of two centimeters from each other. Measure the required length of the elastic, depending on your waist circumference, and insert between the stitches on the belt.
Step 5
Pockets can be sewn into the belt from the inside. In this case, they will be covered with folds. The bottom of the Afghani can be trimmed with an elastic band, but this is usually done if ankle-length pants are sewn.
Step 6
It is even easier to sew an Afghani from a square piece of fabric, the side of which is equal to the length of the leg. Fold the square diagonally to form a triangle. From the side of the right angle, measure the waist line, the radius of which is equal to the waist circumference, divided by three. Cut the corners on the other sides of the triangle so that you have a hole equal to the circumference of your leg. Sew the sides of the square. Sew the elastic to the waistband and bottom of the pants.
With a little patience, some bright fabric and inspiration, your new Afghani pants are ready!
