Hello dear and valued artisan community, I rarely come here to show you my sewing art, and when I do, I always show you how to make different types of garments from home in a simple and practical way.
In this blog tutorial, I want to show you how I made my first pair of women's joggers for myself. I learned a lot from the sewing course my boyfriend and I are taking, and by watching video tutorials. At first, it was really difficult, but I had to keep trying and practicing until I got it right. I tried several times but couldn't do it. Once I learned how to draft jumpsuit patterns, the teacher told us that we could make different types of jumpsuits from that pattern, alter them, and even add different kinds of pockets. This jogger is a cargo style with side and back pockets. Although the process is a bit tedious, I've always said it's worth doing it yourself at home. It's so satisfying when it's finished, so join me in making it. I'll be sharing some tips I learned along the way.

Paso 01
Step 01
We then proceed with cutting the pieces, which is the main thing we do in sewing. I counted on a flat surface and, starting from the grain of the fabric from right to left, I began to mark my patterns, leaving a 1 cm seam allowance all around the edge of my pieces. I cut four pieces for the jogger, two for the front and two for the back. I cut the pockets, the waistband, and the ankle cuffs to the same width as the leg of the pants or jogger. Then I cut the pockets double, two with facing cuts and two for the inside or side of the pocket.

Step 02
Then I proceeded to sew the pockets from the inside out, each pocket on the facings, and we stitched over them. Next, we will join the crotch pieces of the front of the garments and stitch over them with a double seam on top to give the garments a better finish.

Step 03
We proceed to attach the back part to the pockets, which will cover the visible side of the joggers. Then we sew along the sides to almost seal the joggers, and don't forget to double-stitch them.
Paso 04
Step 04
Following this step, it's time to assemble what I think is the most tedious part of the job: sewing the pockets. I cut each facing double, and the pockets themselves are one piece. We'll sew the facings around the perimeter, leaving a few centimeters of seam allowance, and then turn them right side out. We'll cut 3 cm wide Velcro and attach it to each zipper, measuring each one. After sewing them on, we'll measure halfway down the joggers and attach the pocket from that halfway up. For the pockets, we'll join the ends of our waistband and the elastic all at once to insert the elastic inside and sew it. In this case, I sewed it this way, but it would be better if you did it the way you learned to do it. It's just a little tip 😊.

Step 05
Finally, we will attach the waistband to the jogger's waistband and sew another straight seam on top to reinforce it. We do the same procedure to sew the elastic for the contours of the pant leg, insert the elastic in the same way and sew it to the jogger leg to finish.

Here I show you how our jogger looks finished with the side pockets. I confess it took me two days to make; I just finished it today with a few details and a little patience. I hope you liked it a lot. I wish you all the best, thank you for appreciating it.
I hope we meet in another tutorial, thank you for taking the time to read this 🤗💗.
