Measured from the crotch to the desired length.

Take accurate body measurements before drafting or cutting fabric for jogging pants.

Inseam is essential for determining the length of the jogging pants.

The front part of the jogging pant pattern should be sloped slightly lower to account for body curves.

A straight edge, such as a ruler or tailor's tape, is used when drafting patterns.

A tool used for measuring lengths and distances.

A tool for cutting fabric.

A tool with a curved edge used to create smooth curves.

A tool used for measuring straight lines.

Extra fabric added to patterns to allow comfort during movement.

Laying pattern pieces on fabric correctly before cutting.

Positioning pattern pieces along the fabric's grainline.

Correctly placing pattern pieces on fabric.

Direction of fibers or yarns.

Notches, darts, and other markings on patterns.

Efficiently arranging pattern pieces on fabric.

Cutting pattern pieces precisely.

Cutting pattern pieces that are symmetrical.

Positioning pattern pieces on fabric aligned with the grain.

The direction of the threads in the fabric.

Arranging pattern pieces on fabric considering seam allowance and pattern matching.

Ensuring pattern pieces align with the grain and seam allowances for precise sewing.

Positioning fabric according to the grain line to keep the final garment consistent.

The best scissors for accurately cutting fabric, providing smooth cuts.

Using a smooth, rotating cutting motion to avoid fabric damage along curved lines.

Arranging and labeling fabric pieces for sewing in the correct order.

The order for constructing jogging pants, including assembly, stitching, and finishing.

The type of stitch suitable for stretchy materials like jogging pants, creating seamless edges.

The final steps to prepare jogging pants for wear, including inspecting seams, trimming threads, and pressing.

Finishing the bottom of jogging pants to prevent fraying and maintain shape.

Method used to secure the waistband, often using stitching or elastic.

Using an iron to smooth seams and give a crisp, professional look.

Storing a finished garment to maintain its condition and prevent damage while in storage or shipping

Using double stitching to strengthen the crotch area of jogging pants, preventing stress and tearing.

The crotch seam should be sewn first when joining the front and back pieces of each pant leg.

Turn one leg inside out, insert into the other, and sew the crotch seam to complete pant construction.

Elastic is commonly added to waistbands for comfort and a secure fit.

Pinked edges, flat-felled seams, or overlock/serger finishes prevent frayed raw edges.

Pressing seams improves the look and durability of seams.

Notches mark areas to properly align and match fabric pieces when sewing.
