How to DIY Cute Women's Wrap Pants
In this DIY, I’m going to show you how to make a pair of women’s wrap pants from linen.
We all know about wrap skirts, but not everyone knows that you can actually make pants in a wrap style too. These pants are really different and unique and so, without further ado, let’s begin!
Tools and materials:
- Linen fabric (100x100cm)
- Ruler
- Tailor’s chalk
- Scissors
- Plate
- Pins
- Sewing machine with a serger
1. Mark the fabric
Fold your fabric in half lengthwise and then in half again so you have two folds.
On the two folds, measure and mark 13cm from the bottom on the vertical line. On the horizontal line, mark 25cm in from the corner.
2. Connect the points and cut
Draw a curve that connects these two points. The curve will measure 32cm (12.6 inches). Proceed to cut along this line.
3. Mark the opposite corner
The remaining length line at the bottom should measure 75cm. Cut off any excess fabric.
Mark 15cm down from the top as well as 15cm in from the side in the opposite corner from where you cut before.
4. Draw a curved line and cut
Place and plate in the corner and draw around the edge to connect the two points with a curved line. Then cut along this line.
5. Sew the curved section
Open up the fabric and place the two right sides together.
Sew around the large curved section with a zigzag stitch on a sewing machine with a serger.
6. Fold in the sides and sew
Fold the top layer of the side in by about an inch and pin it in place as shown. Do this all around the pants.
Repeat on the other side of the pants and then proceed to sew the rolled hems down.
7. Open up the pants
Open up the pants by holding the two parts on either side together, as shown.
8. Cut strips of fabric
Cut two strips of fabric that measure 160x8cm (63x3 inches).
9. Pin the fabric to the pants
Find the center of the loop and pin it to the center of the pants on the wrong side.
Continue to pin all the way around and sew. Then repeat on the other side of the pants.
10. Fold the band down
Turn the pants right side up. Fold the strip of fabric down twice and pin it to the top of the pants.
11. Pin the sides
With the remaining fabric at the sides, fold the end in and pin it down to hem it.
Fold each long side in by about 1cm (0.4 inches), then fold the band in half and pin it down.
Repeat this process for the rest of the band on both sides of the pants.
12. Sew
Finish the pants off by sewing the band down all around.

Does it have to be Linen fabric?
Yes I would try making these pants, but as Holly asked above , can other fabrics be used?
