What You Will Need

    • 1/3 Yard of 2- or 4-way Stretch Fabric
    • Waistband (look at measurements on the sewing pattern)
    • ¼ Yard Optional Fringe
    • Matching Thread
    • Overlock machine / zig-zag stitch on a regular sewing machine

Pattern Assembly 

  1. Sew Lower Waistband Seams
    With right sides of the fabric together, separately sew the lower waistband seams of the front chaps (piece 1) and back chaps (piece 2). Use a ¼” seam allowance and a serger/overlock stitch.
  2. Join Front and Back Chaps at Waist
    Open the seams on pieces (1) and (2). Place them right sides together and sew the small sides of the waist using a serger stitch.
  3. Sew Waistband (Piece 3)
    With right sides together, sew the short sides of the waistband (piece 3) together using a serger stitch to form a loop.
  4. Attach Waistband to Chaps
    Fold the waistband (3) in half lengthwise, wrong sides together. With light tension, attach the folded waistband to the top edge of the joined chaps (1 & 2) using a serger/overlock stitch (or a stretch stitch on a home sewing machine). The waistband is intentionally smaller to provide stretch—gently pull as you sew. (Refer to waistband measurements on the sewing pattern.)
  5. Optional: Topstitch Waistband Seam
    Open the seam where you attached the waistband and topstitch it flat using a cover stitch, zigzag stitch, or any stretch stitch for a more professional finish. (Optional step.)
  6. Attach Fringe (Piece 4)
    Cut your desired fringe length (4). Stay-stitch the fringe into place inside the front and back chaps (1 & 2) where marked. You can create your own fringe or use pre-made fringe for a custom look.
  7. Sew Inner and Outer Thigh Seams
    With right sides together, sew the inner and outer thigh seams of the chaps (pieces 1 & 2) using a ¼” serger stitch. Be careful to catch the edge of the fringe (4) inside the seam where applied.
  8. Hem Raw Edges
    Fold all remaining raw edges inward by ½” and sew using a stretch stitch to hem.
