I've been wanting to make Amy Butler's Wide-Leg Lounge Pants ever since I got In Stitches. They might actually be the reason I got the book in the first place. So along with the gifts for Lindsey and David, I threw the lounge pants onto my Christmas craft list. For the primary fabric I chose Midwest Modern 2 Happy Dots in Ice, and for the cuff I chose Belle Kashmir in duck egg. (Thank you, Amy Butler, for making your fabric collections coordinate so nicely with one another!) The pattern was easy enough to follow, though I varied from the instructions a bit:
- I didn't have freezer paper, so I used printer paper by taping the sheets together and cutting them to size.
- I used cotton twill tape for the drawstring.
- I added 5 inch cuffs in a coordinating fabric.
Here are the finished pants...
