I just cut as close to the seam as possible on one side, and then cut up the other side of the seam and trim the seam to remove it. Then, cut the outside seam of your pants up to the point where you want the pants to start flaring out, usually right below the knee. I skipped this step because I left the bottom of my pants unhemmed, but if I had, I would have hemmed about 10 inches of my inset fabric. To figure out how much fabric you’ll need to hem, just decide how wide you want the bottom of your inset to be (my little toddler pants insets were about 4 inches wide) and then double that (because you’ll need two) and always add a couple inches for good measure. The usual sewing necessities (sewing machine, scissors, thread, ruler)įirst, you want to hem up the bottom of your inset fabric. Pants (you’ll want to use something that is pretty fitted on top, baggy pants won’t look as good)įabric for the inset (either a decorative fabric, denim, or something that will match your pants if you want a less noticeable look) This could be fun for a hippie costume or if you just like wide leg pants! Here’s what you need: It’s super easy and you can do this for kids or adult pants to add a little extra flare. I’m going to show you how I made regular pants into bell bottoms. So here’s a quick tutorial from my 60s Flower Child outfit from 2 weeks ago. I meant to post this last week, but got caught up in sewing.
