pant cuffs...my way (tutorial)

 So I put cuffs on the boys pants...and I wanted the bottom edge to be a clean look... Not sure if this is the best way (in fact I'm pretty sure its not), but here's how I did it.
1. start by sewing the outer layer of the pants completely (crotch, inseam and side seams).
Sew the inner layer at just the inseam and sides (leave the crotch open) so you should have two separate legs.
 2. Put the inner legs inside the outer pants right sides together and sew around the bottom of each one.
 3. it should look something like this when you pull the inner legs out.
 4. now looking at the right sides, stuff the inner legs inside.
 5. Pull all the way through and pin and sew the crotch seam.
 6. you can now finish the top however you like. I sewed around the top to hold the layers together, then folded over a casing for my elastic.
 
tada!!!
