Education/Credentials Palmer and Plesch tailoring class
Basically, self-taught...give me the instructions and I will figure it out and then make it better!

Question hello,
I have probably bitten off more than I can chew, but I've agreed to make hiking pants for my son-in-law. I haven't bought the pattern yet, but I'm almost positive the pattern doesn't call for a gusseted crotch, which is in hiking pants in the stores. How do I do this without a pattern for it?
The pattern can be either pants or shorts because it has the zip off leg feature. This website also sells some outdoor type fabrics if you were interested in anything like that.
