Hi Nehzat,

1. What kind of fabric is good for the pants block pattern if I don't add ease to it? How much  stretch should it have?

2. How can I  add  Just one inch ease to waist to hip, but don't add any amount to the legs?

Thanks in advance.

Re: How to add ease

 Dear sewsewmom,

1. You can use a minimum or 25% stretch-woven fabrics or 10% stretch for knit fabrics. 

2. You need to add the amount of ease you want to the side seam, from the waistline to the hipline. Then draw a new side seam down, tapering it gradually and merging it with the existing side seam.

Hope this helps.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
