Today we'll look at how to adjust the basic trouser pattern if you have knock-knees or bowlegs.

Sewing trousers yourself is often frustrating because the patterns usually don't fit well. This is logical when you consider that every body is unique and sewing patterns are only created according to standard clothing sizes (just like the trousers you can buy in a store). In this video series, I'll show you how to adjust the basic pants pattern to your own body :)

Have fun drafting and sewing! :)
