Summer pants plans. Summer pants complete! The summer pants I’ve been planning and making are finally done!
I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out. They are so wide legged they border on costumey, and I felt kind of weird wearing them to work. But they are so comfortable on a hot day, and they make me feel like the star of a black and white movie. I followed the instructions I posted last month to draft the pattern for the legs. How I made my summer pants.
Someone asked how I made my new pants.
I wouldn’t recommend trying to follow these instructions unless you’ve made pants before and have a pattern for them (or are comfortable making your own pattern, but in that case you should use these instructions). Trace the crotch and waist from the front and back pieces of your pattern. For each piece, draw a slightly angled straight line down from the outside edge of the waist.
