ten centimeters (about four inches). For purposes of the diagram I've shown regular seams but it is a good idea to finish all raw edges by doing French or flat felled seams. (Remember: stitch wrong sides together at 1/2 cm or 1/4 inch; press seam open. Stitch right sides together at 1 cm or 1/2 inch; press seam.) Some handbinding will be required at the pockets and waist band.

1.) 6 cm from top, put pocket pieces (one part of) onto rectangular piece. Make sure you make mirror images. |
| 2.) 6 cm from top, put pocket pieces (one each) onto two of the leg pieces. Make sure you make mirror images! |  |
 |
3.) Put pockets together. Make sure that rectangular piece goes with leg piece. |
| 4.) Topstitch pocket front. Put other side of leg together. |  |
 | 5.) Put inseam of legs together. |
| 6.) Put legs together at crotch and front and back. Double stitch. Leave hole for drawstring at front. (Bind raw edge.) |  |
 | 7.) Fold down top to have a two and a half centimeters (one inch) waist band; stitch. Put 2 bound holes on inside of wiast band for drawstring. Thread drawstring (skate laces) through waistband and tie ends together. Hem pants (2.5cm or one inch). |
