Palazzo Pants out of Rayon Challis

 Palazzo Pants

These Palazzo Pants are fun, comfy, graceful and with Rayon Challis from https://gstreetfabrics.com/


Some of you know I buy all the fabrics for an outfit at the same time.  That way I have a vision in my mind of how the colors will be.  I knew I wanted to use the Rayon Challis for Palazzo Pants but I didn't have the pattern.  I just bought was was left on the tube.  It was on sale and I always make scarves and earrings etc.  Now it is facemasks too.   The earrings are the same as the pants... So I will wear the parrot mask with this outfit.
Parrot facemasks in my Etsy Store... LOL

I made the pants with two rows of 1/4 inch elastic at the waist and added the tie about a quarter inch wide and slid it through one of the rows of elastic.... I liked the way the waist looked and I love the pockets.


I really like this pattern, you can use it with or without stretchy fabric.  It is great with silks if you find some silk in the silk bin.  I take view E and change the straps to very wide flat straps so I can wear my comfy base support and I crop the length so I can wear it under my Lace over tops....which view C is my favorite to do this.  Again, view E has a great shape to it for draping silks.  When you see me in a nice silk top that hangs well, it is usually this pattern.

This is View E Cropped with added wide straps


This is view C over my version of cropped E

I picked these fabrics because I thought they toned down and brought out the other colors that were in the Rayon Challis Pants Fabric.


This is one of my favorite patterns...
It works great with non stretch fabric like gauze, linen and chiffon.... You can use any number of combinations.. and if you make roomy linen pants you can use your embroidery stitches with 
variegated colors down the side of legs and have great sailor pants with things like anchors.  They are not palazzos but are very roomy legs.


The Red Orange Lace Jacket is one of my favorites, if you come to G street that is usually what I am wearing over my outfits.  They make me feel feminine and flow.  My trademark of freeflowing fashion.... LOL  A lot of Lace Jackets for me.  Summertime I can use them with outfits or over bathing suits.  I throw them in the wash, I love them.  I do have to shorten them about 4-6 inches to feel the right length with my pants outfits.  That is view B jacket on this Pattern.

As I have said before in my blogs... I love accessorizing with scarves... or face masks...and earrings...LOL

Infinity scarves out of silk are so light and airy and hide or add to an outfit that you don't quite like...

So Many Beautiful Fabrics....

If nothing else I make a scarf a day... different lengths- if you have one longer around the neck one, you can use it to tie the others together... like a mans tie knot...or use elastic style bracelets around the middle..... fun fun fun

Quick and easy infinities---

Fold over the width you want sew the long tube..wide is good... right sides are together when you sew... Leave an opening in the middle just big enought to put your fingers in.. 2 inch or so... then pull the end through the tube so you have right side to right side at the end of the tube... twist once and then sew all the way around closing the end....

reach into the hole you left in the middle and pull the fabric right side out... slip stitch the hole shut..  VOILA... Infinity scarf
 


There is a lot of things you can do with sewing..

        You can put your dogs on a motorcycle... OR

      Your cats in cars... or whatever they want
