Another happy make ... Parisian Palazzo Pants, by e-beth designs.
I don't know about you, but this style of pants suits me well. I love the way wide leg pants feel and look. Classic in my book! How could you go wrong?
This has to be the easiest pattern ever. With only 3 pattern pieces, it sews up really quick too.
For my first pair (because I made 3) I used this really pretty floral fabric.
I learned some thing along the way. Like... elastic is tricky. While I followed the directions for cutting my elastic smaller than my waist ... I apparently didn't cut it small enough.
Because of the way the waist band is attached to the elastic, there was no way I could even attempt to fix it without destroying them.
So what's a girl to do? Gift them of course. To a friend. And don't they look great on her?
My second pair ...
And my third ...
Okay, so few things I learned after the 3rd pair ....
Pay attention when cutting out your pattern pieces. This is the second time I hacked off the bottom part of my fabric. I don't know why I was distracted :(
The waistband piece is cut to the width you need by 3 1/2 in length. After the first pair was a little fussy, I just cut my fabric with 4 inch length instead. It made a big difference when it came time to finishing the waistband.
FYI ... I made size medium and the fit it awesome. I just finished another pair for a friend and made size large according to her hips. The fit is spot on for her in the waist, crotch and rear, however the legs are super wide. Maybe next time taking out a little bit of the width will help.
What do you think about palazzos? If you are a fan, I highly recommend this pattern.
