Genie/Harem pants complete!

Hello all my lovelies! Assalamu Alaikum!
So today I have finished hand sewing (YES, I said hand sewing) my first ever pair of genie/harem pants! It took me 2 days to make them and I absolutely love the results. Let me give you a quick walk through of the process...

Here is the fabric that I used...


I'm not sure what kind of fabric it is, but I found it in my closet and thought it would be just right!

Here's the basic shape I cut it into. I made sure to cut the crotch area extremely low. I didn't want to have pant legs, just a little bowed shape.


Next, I stitched the sides and crotch together. This left me with something that looked just like clown pants.


Afterwards, I took an elasticised waistband that fits me and gathered the waist of the pants to fit it. I then stitched the gathered waist to the elasticised waistband.



Finally, I cut two rectangular pieces of fabric, and sewed them into loops. I gathered the ankle area to fit the loops, and stitched them together (same method as the waistband).

Here's the finished product! I'll post more pictures when I actually wear them :)

Take care my lovelies!!!!
