Capri pants
Nov. 5th, 2013 01:08 pm
I did some sewing this weekend and drafted a pattern for drawstring capri's with overskirt. A couple of trial and errors later, I can conclude:
1. don't make drawstring ties on the inside of the knee, it creates too much bulk
2. I left part of the skirt open on the bottom, hoping it would extra movement. The fabric is too stiff so it ended up looking dorky and I closed the seam as a result
3. drawstrings sound like an easy idea, but sewing the string and making the channels really adds up timewise
4. basic overskirt thingie is easy to make, will include the pattern in my new edition of the costuming book.
