How to sew palazzo pants (pattern)

The fashion of the 50s has rapidly returned to the wardrobe of modern fashionistas. One of the most striking elements were the palazzo pants. They are in wide demand due to their convenience, bright style, variety of colors and the ability to hide figure flaws in the hip area due to the strong flare of the trouser legs. With a little sewing skill, You can sew the product yourself. The process is not very complicated and takes minimal time.

We sew palazzo trousers with our own hands

Palazzo pants are distinguished by the fact that they are suitable for girls with any type of figure. The right outfit combinations will help highlight your strengths and hide your flaws.

When choosing material and model, you should take into account the season of use of the trousers. This can be a product with a bright print or solid colors, classic length or with shortened legs, with sewn-in fasteners or with an elastic belt. The material is either airy chiffon, flowing knitwear, or thick wool.

When the fabric for sewing has been purchased, you can begin the basic preparation for the work.

Reference! When purchasing fabric for sewing palazzo trousers, you should start from your body shape. A poorly fitting product will only highlight flaws.

Materials and tools

It is recommended to approach the process carefully, as preparation is of great importance.

Required tools:

• fabric for sewing;
• scissors;
• safety pins;
• ruler;
• sewing meter;
• a pencil pin or a piece of chalk;
• needle;
• sewing machine;
• elastic band for fastening;
• old trousers for modeling the product.

It is better to carry out all work on a horizontal and hard surface. A wide desk would be an excellent option.

Preparing the pattern

To create patterns, you can use any trousers or jeans from your personal wardrobe that fit in size. They will serve as a basis for modeling.

Progress:

• On the surface we place the fabric intended for palazzo trousers. We fold the trousers or jeans along the side seam and lay them out on the fabric. We draw the first line along the bottom seam, retreating 1-2 centimeters. If you want to make the product a little longer, you can step back a couple of centimeters more. The main thing is to leave the centimeters spent on hemming the seam.
• Then we move on to the side seam. We draw a parallel line from the base of the seat, departing from the jeans about 6 centimeters. If you want a more voluminous and loose product, you can make a larger indent. From the front side, we retreat from the base of the hip line. The indentation is about 3.5 centimeters. We also draw a line to the bottom hem.
• Since the palazzo is a product with wide legs, it is necessary to add this element.We retreat 1.5-2 centimeters from the lower indicators (at our personal discretion) and make an incision. We perform a similar action on the other side.
• Using a sewing meter, measure the waist circumference and the required fit of the product. We transfer the indicators to the fabric. We take all measurements using a pencil pin. Here, additional centimeters are also needed to create a flowing product. To the resulting volume, 2 centimeters will be enough. When modeling a belt, you should not forget about the fastenings. Therefore, we leave about 2 centimeters - they are spent on the hem to allow the elastic through.

The initial stage is completed. Now you can start the main work.

Technological process

Uncover

On the reverse side of the pattern you can mark the position of the seams on the product. After the marks are made, carefully cut out the parts of the trousers. At this stage, experts recommend pinning the fabric together or using a large stitch for fitting. It is necessary, as this will allow you to adjust the length or volume and work on errors.

Important! When cutting, do not forget about seam allowances.

Sewing

• Carefully fold the trouser legs along the line of the intended seam and fasten with safety pins, retreating about half a centimeter. First of all, use a sewing machine to skip the side seam, removing unnecessary pins in the process. We sew the seam, slightly short of the seat line. We carry out similar actions on the other side. The trousers are almost ready.

Advice! It is recommended to use zigzag stitches.

• Now you need to stitch the bottom. We bend the fabric and pin it. Apply a zigzag stitch. In this process, you should act carefully, accurately combining the side and bottom seams. We process the hem of the bottom of the second leg in the same way.
• All that remains is to connect both middle parts of the trousers and the seat line. The front side is secured with pins, then a seam is applied. We use the same method as when sewing trouser legs: leave a couple of centimeters to the line of connection of all the parts.
• After sewing both sides, all that remains is to connect all the seams. Carefully fasten the trouser leg lines and skip a line on the sewing machine. On top of this seam we also carefully connect the front and back sides of the product and make a stitch. For greater convenience, pins are used in the process.

The main part of the trousers is ready, all that remains is to make the belt:

• To measure correctly, you need to tighten the elastic band around your waist quite tightly, but not too tightly. Otherwise, it will put pressure on the stomach or waist, which will make using the product uncomfortable. Measure out the required amount of elastic and cut it off.
• We bend the fabric according to the measurements in the waistband area, carefully sew it on the machine, leaving the sides open.
• We put an elastic band on the pin, pass it along the belt and pull it out on the other side. Using a regular needle, sew up the elastic band. The sides to pass the fastening can be carefully sewn up by hand with a hidden seam or use a sewing machine with a couple of stitches.

With a few simple steps, fashionable palazzo pants are ready.
