NOTE: As mentioned in our "Required Materials (etc.)" section (page 103), we recommend using piping with a smaller rather than larger diameter; we're using ⅜" piping for these tutorial trousers, but we recommend using 3/16" or ¼".
Cut a length of (upholstery) division-colored piping the length of your trousers' side seam plus 2-3".
Using your zipper/piping foot, sew the piping onto the right side of the front trousers (piece T) along the side seam with ⅝" seam allowance, leaving at least 1" excess on each end of the trousers, stitching close to the cord.
NOTE: We increased our standard ⅜" seam allowance to ⅝" on the trousers' side seams to accommodate for the larger lip typically incorporated into upholstery piping.
TIP: Pull the fabric toward you as you attach the piping and/or slightly lower your thread tension to prevent the fabric from contracting!
Repeat for other side.
