Palazzo pants have been in my “to-make” list for a while. I bought high waisted and wide legged trousers at a thrift store last year and just loved the look and how comfortable they were. The color of those pants are mustard yellow, so I had been looking for something more versatile. I finally had a chance to make myself those pants last week. At first, I was not sure what to wear with these pants, but after browsing through Pinterest, I realized that these can be worn as if you are wearing a maxi skirt. Some slouchy top tucked in or cropped top work well with these pants. I’ve pinned these images for more palazzo pants inspirations…1. with chiffon blouse, 2. all white, 3. in wool tweed for cooler seasons, and 4. with T-shirt and statement necklace.
The patterns were made by me and it is a variation (just lengthened) of these shorts. There are pleats in front, darts in back, side pockets and fly front. Since the fabric was a bit sheer, I lined the pants with polyester lining fabric. I finished the hem with blind hem stitches by machine.
Rina showed me how to attach the pants and lining with a thread the other day. I used #30 thread and crochet hook to make a small chain thread to link the two pants together. It prevents the lining from twisted inside.
