DIY trousers, in plaid!

IMG_6222cIMG_6238cIMG_6224c Plaid is amazing. And in pant form I'm in love. These pants were pretty easy and the fit me perfectly! Can't wait to sport them around in something a little more edgy like a leather jacket and graphic tee with a beanie or more feminine with a button up and high heels. Next on my to do list....matching coat! get ready for that! Its happening!
Supplies:
couple yards of fabric
pants you like the fit of
invisible zipper

Instructions:
1. Pull out the point where all 4 seams hit and fold outward really pulling that point outward, this will be done 2 different time, pull outward toward the backside and pulling frontward to the front. Trace the outlines of both sides, making sure to keep the center in the right place when you flip the pant the other direction and lay it down. It will look like the 3rd image below on the right (but obviously the pants won't be there!). plaidpant 2. Sew up the inseams of the legs. 3. Pin and sew the front under to back part of pant Starred Photos393c 4. Seam rip the back open 5 or so inches and insert zipper (look how to do it here) 5. Sew the top under a half inch, then an inch. 6. Add darts to the back if you need them. 7. Hem the bottom. Starred Photos394c
