Tools and materials:
- 2 meters viscose fabric
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Measuring tape
- Fabric chalk or pen
- Pins
- Sewing machine
- Serger (optional)
Fold
Fold your fabric in half, and then in half again.
Measure, mark, and cut
For instructions and measurements on how to cut the fabric, see the video from 0:39-1:49.
Pin and sew
Separate the two layers of fabric, and lay them one on top of the other, right sides facing. Pin the crotch seam together, and sew.
Finish edges
Finish all the edges with a serger or an overlock stitch.
Hem
Then, hem all the edges by folding them in once and sewing.
Make darts
For instructions and measurements to make darts, see the video from 4:00-5:24.
Cut waistband
Cut two strips of fabric for the waistband, each measuring 152 centimeters (60 inches) long and 8 centimeters (3 inches) wide.
Pin and sew
Pin and sew the waistband strips along the top edges of the pants, with the right side of the waistband facing the wrong side of the pants.
Then, flip the waistband strip up, away from the pants. Fold in the edge of the strip, and then fold the strip over to the right side of the pants, so the folded edge of the strip meets the waistband seam. Pin the waistband in place.
Before sewing down the rest of the waistband, fold the ends of the strips in half, right sides facing each other, and sew them down.
Then, start sewing the open edges of the waistband together, folding it inwards on either side to hide the raw edges. Continue sewing straight across as you get to the waistband seam on the pants, and finish by sewing down the open edges of the waistband on the other side.
How to wear wrap pants
Begin by holding the pants in front of you and tying one side around your waist.
Gather up the second side and pass it under your legs.
Then wrap the second side around your waist and tie it in the front.
And you now have a pair of beautiful, flowy, summery wrap pants!
