Unusual Lantern pants
I made this Marci Tilton skirt last year from Vogue pattern V9060 and loved the shape. I thought that the shape would also look good as pants so this year I decided to give it a try. I took my standard pants pattern to get the waist, hip and crotch depth and then free-handed the design from there. I drew the shape on pattern and decided on how the pattern pieces would look then I created the pattern and test the pattern in muslin. When I was satisfied with the fit and shape I cut it out of some striped fabric that I had in my stash. I believe the fabric is a cotton/linen blend and has a texture like something we used to call "shagbark". I really love the result, but now I have to design the perfect top to go with it. Have some ideas so I'll work on them this week...stay tuned.
