Hello Readers. I wanted to make some wide leg pants/slacks/trousers. I thought the Simplicity pattern I had would work well. Spoiler- It did work well but I didn't follow it exactly.
These are comfortable and fun.
I think I got this fabric from my mother-in-law. I thought it would be perfect, The fabric itself was fabulous but I made some mistakes. Sometimes that happens when I sew, it is what it is. Let me tell you all about it.
This pattern had large pockets and that was wonderful to me. I love pockets, and large really useful pockets are always welcome.
I cut out the pant legs. This was simple until I cut one leg piece in the wrong direction. It wouldn't be that noticeable in some cases. My fabric has a large pattern so it was going to be visible. At this point, I didn't have enough fabric left to cut a new leg piece. I was a bit put off. I decided to go ahead and make the pants but I would simplify the waistband and skip the matching belt.
I made the pleats and tucks in each pant leg and then I attached the pocket pieces to the pant legs. This was easy.
I sewed the pant legs together.
I used the waist tie to make a waistband. The pattern came with a more complicated waistband and I decided to go with something simpler.
The zipper was supposed to go in the side and I cut the waistband to fit.
I hemmed the length to fit me and I was done. I really liked the wide legs.
I really liked the neutral color scheme. This pattern was a winner. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
