DIY *elasticated* PALAZZO PANTS ☆ sewing pattern hack!

[@candicewaller403]

I really appreciate the caveat that it won't work for everyone. Also showing how to test for waist-to-hip ratio was so cool!

[@sashastarlight]

Ah thank you for letting me know! I held back from releasing this hack for that reason so that's great to hear you enjoyed & appreciated the clarity 🙃 ✨

[@Down_By_Low]

Love your fabric and the result of the pants ! gorgeous

[@sashastarlight]

ah thanks so much - was so happy with that fabric find! 🤩 ✂️ ✨

[@elzbietazabicki3975]

Thank you! I was in the process of making a pair of these and trying to workout how to make them fully elasticated! Love your patterns and the tutorials are superb, really detailed, giving me the confidence to make my first wearable anything

[@sashastarlight]

I usually struggle to watch a video all the way through or without skipping bits, especially when not working on the project its helping with. However I've watched all of this one, and can't wait to try this hack, and make these trousers. And show you to my daughter as we are on this sewing journey together.

[@sashastarlight]

oh that's so lovely to hear, thank you for taking the time to let me know! Hope you & your daughter are having fun with the sewing so far 🥰 ✨

[@clairep1632]

What perfect timing! I have made the palazzo pants unfortunately I made them too big. I was just looking at trying the smaller size and was wondering how I could change it to have elastic, and here it is! Beautiful pattern, I love the pockets. Thank you.

[@sashastarlight]

oh perfect! That's great the timing is on point for you - feel free to pop me a message if you need to troubleshoot any sizing issues - I get back quickest on Etsy 🥰 ✨

[@des_des_00]

Pink plaid pants! Leopard print pocket linings! 🥰 These pants look great - I should pick up this pattern! 🙂

[@sashastarlight]

ah so glad you like the styling too! Love a fun print hidden in the pocket 😝 💕

[@Cindy-sb5dv]

Love Love Love The pants.... Sew easy . What Kind of double points pins are you using ... Where can I find them?

[@sashastarlight]

Ah thank you! And they're called 'fork pins' made by a company called Clover - much more secure than regular pins, I love them! 😍 ✨

[@mmoantiw]

Can’t wait to use this ❤

[@sashastarlight]

Ah yay enjoy - I'd love to see how you get on! 🤗 💕

[@catherinerobertson7713]

Love your tutorials 💕

[@sashastarlight]

ah thank you 🙃 ✨

[@partyfiesta1557]

Loving your style and wondering if as a guy I could use your pattern. Those palazzo pants are stylish ❤🎉

[@sashastarlight]

Absolutely! All my patterns are cut to be unisex and a few other male sewists have made this one - you can find their pics in my instagram stories or Etsy review images if you'd like to get an idea of how they might look! 🙃 💕

[@partyfiesta1557]

@@sashastarlight thanks for letting me know and taking the time to respond. You’re awesome! I can’t wait to try your patterns

[@sarahjocker5059]

This is a brilliant video thank you for sharing love it XX

[@sashastarlight]

ah so glad you enjoyed it! 🤩 💕

[@CarcozaC]

Hi, great vid 😍 May I ask what kind of pins you are using? I have never seen double pins like that before, looks like a great option :)

[@sashastarlight]

they're called 'fork pins' made by a company called Clover - much more secure than regular pins, I love them! 😍 ✨

[@danielarosarojasmora6948]

Beautiful🌷

[@sashastarlight]

ah thank you, glad you enjoyed 🥰 ✨

[@whatwonder6854]

Would like to try making this pant. I’m not good at putting together pdf patterns?

[@JoanieRoseSewing]

Check out her original tutorial video. It shows you how! :)

[@sashastarlight]

hey so yes that's right - I show the pattern assembly method I use in the original video. The download also includes an A0/large format version that you can have printed at a local copyshop/online pattern printers if you prefer to avoid the pattern assembly process 👍 ✨

[@elzbietazabicki3975]

I had a hard time lining up all the patterns, so went to a printers, had 2 x A0 size prints made for around £9, worth every penny!

[@emmettvictor]

I’ve never done a partially elasticated waist band. I’m a little bit confused as to why the elastic is cut into 2 pieces that end up being joined together?

[@sashastarlight]

It isn't always - I developed that method to make it easier to sew the back waistband channel as there is a lot of fabric ease at the back on this pattern 🙃 👌 ✨

[@Badproductionsgc]

Elasticised????

[@sashastarlight]

Ah is that the term you use in the US? I'm from the UK and we say elasticated 🙃 ✨
