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.
I especially like them because I can get the whole leggings concept without them being super tight.
so glad I found someone else who did these pants. I have been eyeing them in the book and just have not made the leap yet. Great job. Found you on Keeping it Simple motivational monday.

Thanks Ayesha! I used stretch jersey fabric. This one is thick. If you use thinner jersey it's even more drapy.
DeleteLove them. These make regular leggings look so boring. That is a good thing.
