I already know the length measurement that i need to do on my son-in-laws pants, which is 30"....my question is if on the new pants do i measure from the crotch down to the hemline to be or do i measure from the waistband to the hemline?

Re: Measurements for Pants

Dear lynnsew,

You need to measure the same way as I show in the pants drafting video lesson, if you intend to draft a pattern using that lesson.

In the lesson we have a leg length which is measured from the crotch point to the hemline and another one from the waistline to the hemline along the side seam. You need both these measurements to draft your pattern.

Hope this helps.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
