Cutting
^^^^^^^
+.. if the fabric has a right and a wrong side, make SURE that you're
+ cutting two symmetrical pieces rather than two of the same.
+Legs
+^^^^
+Wrong sides together, put the leg seam, from A to B in such a way that
+the front overlaps the back by one seam allowance, sew with a running
+backstich.
+
+Press towards the back, folding the allowance of the front over that of
+the back, and fell down with a hemming stitch.
+
+Fold the hems up two times towards the wrong side, sew with a hemming
+stitch.
+
+Fold the open part, from Z to B to S two times towards the wrong side,
+sew with a hemming stitch.
+
+Assembly
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Mark the point of the top of the leg at the center of the pattern; run a
+gathering thread about 1 cm from the top; if the fabric is coarse enough
+pick up three threads and pass over four, otherwise try at least to
+maintain the ratio.
+
+.. note:: by aligning to the quarter point of the waistband the center
+ of the leg pattern, rather than half of the top edge, more fullness
+ is gathered to the back than to the front, as usually required by the
+ body.
+
+Pull
