Drawstring Pants - L.5 Drawstrings and Finishing The Waistband
Channel: WeMadeIt Sewing Sustainably
Date: 2020-02-28

I have broken down the next few steps in super short videos so if you get stuck on a particular part you can find it faster.

Waistband and Drawstring is a strategy that we use is by having the elastic at the back of you pants.  This makes it easier to wear these pants as you tie the drawstring once and then you can slip these babies on and off without having to touch the drawstring again.

I love this design as when I had babies I sometimes needed to wear pants that I could pull on while holding a baby and these, always made out of linen/cotton, were a lifesaver!!

If you wish to buy the pattern, this one has both a women's Bootleg pattern in it and a unisex pant for guys, my husband is modelling for me at the beginning of the videos. 

It's been a staple for us and Yogi's, guys who sail, surf or are the gardening type.  Anyone really who likes comfortable pants with losing the style element and don't want to wear boardies all the time.

The pattern is $12 and you can download and share it with friends up to 8 times because people who sew together usually like each other ALOT and its a great way to hang out.  xx

Thanks for watching, I love handmade anything as they have proven to last longer than mass made cheaper clothes.  This channel is my part of helping save the planet and ourselves from overconsumption.  

My day job keeps me hectic from October to March so I do light work here and on social media in those months but we do ramp sewing lives from April to September.  2020 is our first year of using this system as life got too hectic last year to make it an all year gig.  

I will be building a sustainable playlist which you can check out if you follow my channel down the rabbit hole of YouTube. 

Thanks for being here, I know we are going to love each other if you feel the same way about sustainability.  #letschangetheworld #andourselves

xx love and respect Irene
