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.
