I have been sewing pants lately. I made this pair of comfy wide leg pants from 100% pure kimono silk.
The
fabric is amazing. I bought it on Ebay several years ago with the idea of making pants, but since it's kimono fabric, the bolt was only 14 inches wide. So, I had to create a pattern that would work with such a narrow bolt of fabric.
It's a deep burgundy wine color, vintage kimono
silk, a nice medium-heavy weight with a wave design woven right onto the
weave, and then subtle hand painting to bring out the design. I used
every last bit making these pants, and because it's vintage fabric, this pair of pants are truly one of a kind.
Details include ruffles
along the hem, adjustable ruching at the on the sides with gathering
strings, and two front pockets with gathering strings. The top has a
double channel waistband, one with elastic, and a second with elastic
and a draw string for a perfect adjustable fit. I stitched everything
with both a serger and a regular sewing machine to make this pair of
pants last until the fabric wears out, which should be a good long while
because it's REALLY nice fabric. Seriously, I'm a silk snob, and this
fabric is unusually high quality.
The waistline is somewhere
between regular and low. These are very well made and as comfortable as
pants can be. If you think you might want these pants, I assure you
that your really do. They are amazing. Once you put them on, you won't
want to take them off. These pants are for sale in my Etsy shop. Thanks for looking.
