Step 5: (part 1) Preparing and ataching the netting to the pants


     If you are making a suit with netting in the front, lay your BDU pants down on the ground and the netting over them, only with a little bit more netting spanning out to the sides like shown in the picture. How do you know how much netting to spare and how much to cut off? Pin down the netting in the back and turn the thing around and stretch the netting to the front to see how much you need (note, you don’t need full inner leg coverage). Then place the dots under the knots on the fabric in the back of the pants. Like in the jacket, worry about the front part later. If you want to still use the pockets, make sure you only sew the knot into the pockets first layer and not all the way into the pants. Also, make the necessary cuts in the netting AFTER you have sewn it all in. After you have sewn in the back part of the pants, wrap the front part around and pin it down. Again, place the dots under the knots in the netting onto the fabric and continue sewing.
