I will admit in a rookie when it comes to sowing and i want to design my own pants in the future. The only problem is: how am i going to be able to design the leg portion without sowing the leg potion together. I'm looking for experienced users answers only.

Thanks. its the outside portion, and thx for catching my mistake.
