Making these pants was on the top of my "To-Do" list ever since I saw them strolling down the Michael Kors SS 11 catwalk.
I didn't have pants patterns so I made them myself with an old pair of flare pants and it was a bit difficult documenting the "step by step", specially when sewing all the pieces together, so I hope the tutorial is clear enough for the ones who want to follow it... I will post "Look of the day" pics with my new gold pants very soon so you can see the end result!

Traduccion:
Desde que vi estos pantalones en el desfile de Michael Kors SS11, se convirtieron en mis projectos de "hazlo tu misma" mas deseados, claro que lo primero que tenia que hacer era encontrar la tela correcta y después de casi 8 meses, la encontré :D
Como no tenia patrones para hacer los pantalones, saque un patrón rapidísimo con un pantalón que tenia en mi closet. Estuvo un poco difícil el documentar el paso a paso, especialmente en la parte en la que coso todas las partes del pantalón, pero espero que el tutorial este lo suficientemente claro para las que lo quieran seguir...Muy pronto voy a subir fotos con mis nuevos pantalones al "Look del Dia" :D
Hoy es el ULTIMO dia que tienes para apoyarme en el concurso de MANGO y todo el apoyo recibido significa muchísimo para mi. Por favor tomate un segundo para hacer click en este boton de FaceBook:

They look very cool! I made myself a few pair pf pants with a elastic band like that, and I cannot wait to see you wear these! So glamorous and sparkly :D
you're really a genius andy! <3
yougotsomestyle.blogspot.com
it's a great idea and i have a feeling it's gonna turn out awesome, but i was just thinking why you will need to use the tracing paper when you can just use the old pair of pants as the cut-out by placing it on top of the fabric?
just a thought, may be not as easy as it seems.
i love your creations!!
