Besides cut cutting out the front and back halfs and sewing them, how do you make them like a normal pair?

I'd like to include the zippers and pockets and belt loops.

Is there a website that has those steps?

Don't listen to that other person! I make pants to wear at home all the time. The best thing is to use a simple pattern designed for beginners. It will provide you with all the steps you need to get great looking pants. There are many sewing classes across the country at sewing centers and in community education classes that teach people how to do this exact thing.

My favorite technique is to sew the front and back of each leg together to form half of the pant. Now sew the front from the bottom of the zipper to the end of that section. Insert the zipper using a mock fly front technique or an invisible zipper technique. (you need to buy a special zipper and zipperfoot for your machine for invisible zippers, but you get a really nice product in the end.) Then sew from the back to the bottom. Lastly sew from ankle to ankle. Hem and insert a waistband. Use elastic for your first pair, you won't regret that and you can always change the technique later. Remember to buy you pattern by your hip measurement. Don't pay any attention to the size number of the pattern. You will wear a bigger sized pattern than you do in ready-to-wear. I wear two sizes bigger.
