Welcome back to the second and last day of the Ayla pant sewalong. Go ahead and grab your 1.5" elastic and your assembled pants and lets get started.
Step 6 - Cut your elastic according to the chart on page 2 or just wrap it around your waist to get a more personal fit. Different elastics can have varying amount of stretch and recovery so it's always nice to choose your own length if you can. 
Overlap the ends by 1” and stitch securely.
Step 7 - Divide your elastic into four equal sections. Place pins at each quarter marking as shown below.
Divide the top of your pants using the same method and mark with pins. I like to start and center front and center back and then match those up to find the side markings. Keep in mind that these side markings will not be at the side seams. Generally a bit behind them.
Step 8 - Turn your pant inside out. With the elastic touching the wrong side of the pant, line up the top edges, matching the quarter markings.
Without trimming, serge or zigzag stitch along the top edge. The elastic and the top of the pants should be roughly the same width, but if they are slightly different, gently pull the seam flat as you sew so they match up.
Step 9 - Fold the elastic down one time towards the inside of the pant. Press and pin.
Step 10 - Turn your pants right side out. Stitch in the ditch through all layers at the center front, center back and side seams. I make the stitching about 3/8" long and position it at the bottom of the elastic.
For View B you can also stitch in the ditch at each panel seam.
The stitching should essentially be invisible as it is located in that seam.
Step 11 - Try your pants on and adjust the length if necessary. Knit fabrics do not unravel so they do not need to be finished on the inside, but you may want to serge or zigzag stitch the bottom raw edge of the pants for a more finished look before hemming.
Turn the bottom edge of the pant up towards the inside by 1 1/2 inches. Press and Pin.
Hem in one of two ways. For a more casual pant, stitch along the inside edge to complete the hem. Note that due to the ease in the fit, a straight stitch is ideal for this line of stitching. For a dressier pant, use a hand sewing needle and thread to do a blind stitch on the inside of the pant.
That is it. Give your Ayla pants a final press and they are ready to be worn.
Congrats!
