I
thought this was really cool because I bought a piar of pants for $60 what a
waste so I started making my own pants for $3. Then i found this its the perfect
way to make your self some personalized pants of your own design have fun, make
some, save money. good luck:)
by the way i didnt write this I could explain how to make them so Ii borrowed
this from another site if you wanna go there the links at the bottom of the
page.
Making
Your Own Raver Pants
If you're anything
like me, you work damn hard for what little money you make, which is why I still
cry whenever I see people shell out $50-$150 for a pair of good raver pants.
People, people, people! This is something that should not be! And I have the
antidote.
For this little venture,
you'll probably need about 3 yards of whatever material you want. (I've got a
pair of velvet pants, a pair in fake leopard fur, and a pair of flannel.) First,
find yerself a pair of pants that fit properly (or however you'd prefer they fit)
in the waist. Find some pieces of cardboard -- or posterboard would work too,
I guess -- and fold the "master pants" in half, back pocket to back pocket. Trace
the outline onto a piece of cardboard....but this is where you can get creative:
you only have to stick with the actual waist measurement. You can make the legs
as big and as long as you want (although I personally wouldn't make the legs too
much longer than the "master pants"). Now flip the "master pants" over and trace
this side onto a different piece of cardboard, taking as much liberty with leg
length and width as you deem fit. It helps, when you're doing this, to number
the patterns in the order you do them. Now fold the "master pants" front pocket
to front pocket and trace both sides, again having fun with leg width and length.
Cut out these cardboard patterns and trace them onto your fabric (hopefully they'll
fit, if you didn't make the legs astronomically wide). If you want back pockets,
make a pattern on the cardboard and trace this onto your material as well (or
maybe onto different fabric?). Cut out these fabric shapes and bust out yer sewing
machine (or you could do it by hand, but that gets really old really fast, especially
if you're like me and can't sew to save yer pathetic little life); sew the shapes
together in order and put the pockets on the back of the pants, making sure to
leave the top open and not sew them shut. (You might say "duh," but I only remark
on this 'cuz someone might do that.) And voila! Raver pants custom-made
to your standards! Have fun with these; they're your creation. Add marabou, feathers,
fur stripes down the sides, whatever. A friend of mine sewed plastic baby keys
on the pockets of hers and then attached a string of little tiny bells to the
cuffs. They're great!
