History of the wrap pant
How to make Wrap Pants
Materials
You will need the following supplies to create
a single pair of wrap pants.
- 1 1/2 yards material (60” wide)
- 1 Spool of thread, matching material
Sewing Machine (Hint: If working with heavy fabrics such as denim, corduroy, vinyl or fur, you might wish to purchase a pack of needles for your machine rated for leather or denim.)
- Scissors
- Fabric pencil or ‘map color’ pencil (to trace pattern onto cloth)
- An iron (*optional)
Directions
- Cut two rectangular fabric pieces against the selvage sized 30 by 50 inches. Fold the pieces in half so that your pieces now measure 30 by 25 inches.
- Put the pieces on top of each other so that the folded edges lie to your right. Mark a rectangle in the top right corner of the fabric pieces with your chalk measuring 12 inches high and 4 inches long.
- Draw a curved line inside the rectangle, taking up as much of the rectangle as possible. Remove the curved piece from the top of your fabric with scissors.
- Open the large rectangles so that the right side of the fabric matches. You must stitch the rectangles along the curved line to fashion the crotch seam.
- Fold the seamed edges over 1½ inches to form the casing for the ribbon at the waist. Stitch along this line, leaving enough open room at the end to insert the ribbon.
- Finish the edges of the pants by using a zigzag stitch for strength across the hem and down the sides. Insert the ribbon through the casing and pull through with a safety pin. Sew the ribbon in place at the seam to keep it in place during washing.
