Welcome back to Ellie & Mac’s Accessibility Sewing Series!

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to: ✔️ Draft dart tucks for comfort ✔️ Add elastic waistbands ✔️ Install side zippers for accessibility ✔️ Sew welt zipper pockets & slip pockets ✔️ Create thigh-level pockets ✔️ Blind hem trousers ✔️ Customize pants for surgery recovery, maternity, or seated wear ✔️ Sew everything using a regular sewing machine These hacks are demonstrated using the Feel Pretty pants pattern — but they can be applied to pajama pants or other trousers with side seams, too!
