How to Find Your Own Cargo Pants (Part II)
Step 4. Stitch together the outer pocket pieces, attaching the sides of the pockets to the front pocket pieces and inserting the lining, then attach the large pockets to the front and back cargo pants pieces where indicated on your pattern. Turn, stitch and press the top edge of the pocket. Stitch the flap pieces together, press, turn and then stitch them to the garment above the outer pockets. On cargo pants, you will have outer pockets on the back and sides of the garment.
Step 5. Pin and stitch the back and front of the pants together at the side seams, then press the seam allowances and finish them as desired. Stitch together the crotch seam, all the way to the zipper placement marking. Attach the left fly piece to the front at the front edge, then pin the zipper to the right front part. Pin the right fly piece over the zipper and stitch through all layers, then stitch the left side of the zipper to the raw edge of the left fly piece. Tack the bottoms of the fly pieces down.
Step 6. Pin and stitch the inseams of the cargo pants. Sew the waistband pieces together and attach them to the waist of the pants, pressing the seam allowances to the inside. Stitch the belt loops to the waistband, following the markings.
Step 7. Turn under the bottoms of each leg and stitch, creating hems. Press the hems flat. Sew a button or snap to the waistband. If you use a button, create a buttonhole on the opposite side.
