I have been seeing a lot of fun crazy pattern pants. I wanted to give it a try. I used this simplicity pattern with this fabric.
I selected the long pants. I liked how this seemed to fit and flare. And didn't look like a glorified PJ pant pattern. I cut my normal size. And after sewing it together they were MASSIVE. went and removed a lot of fabric, even from the center seams. I got it as best I could and realized my fantasy idea of pairing it with a lovely top I had from Ann Taylor
To what this was in reality- a pair of lounge pants. No way I would wear this to work.
My baby... :) Yup so with a t-shirt. Hanging out at home with my cats.
Yes. Lounge pants.
I cut a 12 and this is after removing many inches. I could have easily cut a 10 or lower. I have an idea on how to modify this pattern. Plus this is a thicker cotton fabric so there is no drape. The crazy tribal fabric may be making another appearance. You have been warned. Stay tuned!!! I think with a thin knit fabric, coupled with some slice and dicing- I can make this work.
Cheers,
Lauren

ReplyDeletePants are on my sewing list of 2014. The simplicity pattern you chose has a nice shape. Would you sew it again with different fabric?
ReplyDeleteEven if you can't wear them to work, your pair does make nice lounge pants!
Thank you Annie. Overall not a bad pair of lounge pants. I actually just redid them and much happier!
