Hello everyone! I’m not dead!

Here again with another sewing tutorial! Let’s make the fly of your trousers! It’s a tricky things to do, but  you can do it! (sorry for the shitty pics, my cell is starting to fall apart and my camera is on strike -_-)

Let’s start!   You need: -Patterns  -Fabric(s) -Light/Medium Vlieseline -Some patience

How to make the pattern: 

It’s easy ^^ ! Just traces the same line of the fly on your pattern, then add seam allowances like the drawing.

Fold your fabric and put the fly pattern on the folding line. Now you need the Vlieseline. Why the Vlieseline? Because it helps very much to mantain the shape and it helps the cloth to not ruin fast where you put buttons, zippers, etc for openings. Use it on your fly and in the waistband.  After doing it, there is another thing to do. If you cut 2 front pieces you will have 2 pieces with the fly attached to it. You have to cut away one of those ^^  Which?

Looking at the pants under it, you can see you have to attach the fly on the left side (looking at the photo).  Remember: Fly on the right = MEN ; Fly on the Left = WOMEN Tip: Usually the all the “real” jeans have the fly on the right, even the ones for girls ^^ These pants are for a boy, so I cut the fly in the right part.

Now refine all your pieces:

Aaaand now let’s create the fly. Take your little piece of fabric and sew the bottom:

Cut the seam allowance, turn it, and iron, and last thing: refine it! 

Yay your fly is ready :D ! Now the worst part: sewing it to your pants.

1: Sew the crotch until the point where you have to sew the fly 2. Pin your fly and sew it! Beware: the two sewing lines has to coincide. So you can baste it and sew it from the inside, so you can see where the seam of the crotch are! 3. Voilà! 

We’re at a good point! Now we have to sew the other side! 1. Fold the part (seam allowance+fly, so the folding will match with the other part, in my case the red line) 2. Pin or baste it 3. Sew the fly as you wish! 

AAAAAANDDDDDDDDD ………… Voilà!
