Step 7Sew Velcro Onto Pants
The Velcro runs over the side seam of the pants, starting even with the top of the front pocket and ending just above the pants hem.
This is a little tricky since the pants leg is narrow, you have to keep pulling the other side of the leg out from under the presser foot of the sewing machine. I did this in two parts - I started at the top of the pocket and sewed as far as I could and then turned the pants upside down and started from the bottom. I was able to stitch the entire length of the Velcro this way.
I did leave the area over the knee without Velcro. My theory is that the knee moves the most when you walk, so I thought if the LED strip was loose over the knee, it might protect it from breaking from the movement.
