How to sew stripes to ready-made trousers
For the alteration, I needed a fabric that was the closest in composition and quality to the material of the trousers, I took a tight suit. Also, this fabric should not be stretchable or stretch, because I will not cut according to the rules, namely along the transverse. In order to calculate the consumption of fabric for stripes, you need to know the width of the future insert:
Fabric consumption = stripe width * 2 + 4 cm. (Allowances for cuts)
I also had at hand such sewing tools as a sewing machine, sewing pins, scissors, a measuring tape, chalk, a sewing machine and an overlock.
01. I take my trousers and with the help of a ripper I remove the belt and completely dissolve them along the side and bottom cuts.
02. I cut out stripes - strips of fabric with parameters 6 * 100 cm, that is, when finished, my stripes will be 4 cm wide, and the length is equal to the length of the trousers along the side cut.
03. I alternately pin the stripes to the side sections of the front and back with the help of tailor's pins.
04. I sew stripes to the trousers, in total there should be four lines.
I overlock the seams on the overlock, you can also use the zigzag stitch on the sewing machine to prevent shedding of the cuts.
05. I direct the allowances along the cuts into the stripe, mark, iron it with an iron through the iron.
06. I sew the belt back into place, fold the bottom by the amount of allowance and hem it with blind stitches, because there should be no visible stitches in the product, unless it is finishing.
In general, at this step, my alteration - how to sew stripes to ready-made trousers, is over. It took me exactly 2 hours to get a wearable fashion item. Isn't this a super result!

What do trousers with stripes look like?
Stripes are vertical stripes on the outside of the leg. Initially, they were present on military uniforms, then appeared on sportswear (everyone knows Adidas sweatpants with three white stripes on the sides).
Modern models look completely different, because today stripes adorn both sweatpants and suit trousers, and silk stripes are generally a distinctive feature of trousers from a tuxedo. There are also no restrictions on the width and color of the finish: stripes can be a thin edging along the seam or a wide strip, one color or several at once. Sometimes stripes differ not in color, but in the use of another fabric (for example, lace or leather) or decor (for example, a vertical strip of rhinestones).
Who are suitable
The advantage of trousers with stripes, women's models of which are diverse, is that they can be worn by beauties with any type of figure. Girls with perfect shapes will suit any style. Narrow trousers will look very impressive. For full hips, consider broad, arrowhead structural patterns.
Those who seek to hide any flaws should be more careful in choosing their clothes. It is worth remembering that stripes can visually lengthen your legs, especially if you complement the set with high-heeled shoes.
Floor-length wide trousers will add height to a petite girl. Straight cut models can be considered universal, because they are suitable for everyone.
