| I lengthened the Capitola Pant, took off the band at the bottom and made a size larger than I needed at the top to create a wrap-around look to the pants. I used the wonderful, drapey rayon batik from Batik Butik. I added elastic (to the back of the waist only) for comfort. The bias curved, triangle shaped belt (in black rayon) is interfaced with a fusible- giving a stable but slightly stretchy surface for stitching the snaptape onto. To create the shape of the belt piece: put on the pants, overlap and play with the waist until you get the desired look. This helps to design how, how much and where the snaptape will go. As you can see, Stitching down the ‘belt’ piece in the center back holds it in place. I like the idea of decorating the ends of the tape that will be left loose. Fabric shapes can be used, ribbon or other decorative trims. |
