Printed Pants

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.

    1. Freshcity, 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.
