Making Adjustable Trousers That Always Fit!

Do you hold on to trousers in various sizes in hopes you'll fit into them again? Wouldn't it be better if our pants changed to fit our bodies instead of the other way around? In this video, I walk you step by step through how to make a pair of historybounding, adjustable trousers--inspired by the silhouette of the 17th century! They have large pockets, can change with your weight fluctuation, and have a nice, stretchy waistband for added comfort. These pants are so easy to make, using not a purchased pattern, but a custom-fitted block drawn from a pair of trousers that already fit! This is a technique that can be applied to even a pair of trousers you already have. It's a great method, and I'm so excited to share my process with you! It's a great project for anyone who wants to combine their love of historical costume and practical, comfortable clothing that will certainly take a top shelf in their forever wardrobe! This is the third part of my Adalagia Project, where I am stashbusting my way into a fabulous mage's costume straight out of my very own fantasy novel!
