How to sew?
1. Join the sides.
2. Join the crotch seams.
3. Join the leg seams.
4. Finish the hemline of each leg.
5. Create the casing at the waistline and feed in the elastic.
You have to fold the waistline by 0.25 inch and then again by 0.50 inch, and sew over the folded edge leaving a small gap to feed the elastic in. Insert a 3/8-inch-wide, 10-inch-long elastic through the casing, and overlap the ends of the elastic by 0.25 inch and sew them together. Sew the gap in the casing closed.
Then, fold the hemline of each leg by 0.25 inch and then again by 0.50 inch, and sew along the folded edge. And you are done!

Happy Sewing!
