Circle/Spiral Pants from Pattern Magic 3 by Tomoko Nakamichi

As promised, I give you the circle/spiral pants I made the other day. It is from the book, Pattern Magic 3 by Tomoko Nakamichi. I love them!

Here's how they look in the book.  It is such a cool concept that I wished I would have thought about it myself, my loving draped clothes and all.


Here's my version. I didn't make them go all the way around in a full circle since this would have made them too long and super drapy...and I'm a shorty.  I already practiced on other stretchy fabric so I know what I'm talking about.

Here's what they look like held out. Weird right? Like a giant flounce.


Here they are on me, I love them!


I especially like them because I can get the whole leggings concept without them being super tight.

Thoughts?

    1. Thanks Ayesha! I used stretch jersey fabric. This one is thick. If you use thinner jersey it's even more drapy.

  5. Love them. These make regular leggings look so boring. That is a good thing.
