I'm seeing printed pants everywhere. Just recently I took a mini vacation to Amelia Island. Amelia Island is located North of Jacksonville, Florida. Its beautiful and I stayed at the Omni Resort at Amelia Island. There was a cute little clothing shop on the island (can't remember the name), but they had the cutest printed pants, similar to these:
I also like these wide leg version as well.
Here is my version of Simplicity 1699, printed pants. The picture isn't the best but I will post a picture when I wear them out. I tapered the legs a little to give me the look I wanted, but these were fairly simple to make. I also used bias facing as suppose to the twill tape that the pattern called for the waist. I like how they came out.
Very nice printed pants!

DeleteNice pants! I've been eyeing printed pants also. I like the tapered look. I'm going to have to look through my stash and get busy.
ReplyDeleteCome on Robin, I need some printed pants buddies. Lets do this. Hahahahah
DeleteSo cute! (I want construction details - please!)
ReplyDeleteFreshcity, they were pretty easy. I didn't deviate from the pattern much. Just tapered the legs from the knee down to make them a little more pencil end. I also didn't use twill tape as recommended in the pattern, instead I used bias facing, and tacked it down. Hope this helped dear.
