Christmas Plaid Wide Leg Pants Tutorial with Video

Hi Hi!


I love the idea of a dressy pant or jumpsuit instead of a dress or skirt for the holidays. It can be just as dressed up but with a modern twist!

I came across my inspiration picture for these pants from an adorable girl I follow on Instagram, who was wearing sequins pants. I LOVED them. They were the perfect, fun, over-the-top kind of piece you can wear during the holidays and not feel over-dressed. The fact they were wide leg pants was a unexpected aspect. I set out to find sequins fabric to recreate the look...

Unfortunately, our little town didn't have sequin fabric and since I was too impatient to wait for shipping, I found the next best thing in our Hobby Lobby: PLAID. Shimmery, fancy Christmas Plaid, as I like to call it :)

Even though I know this pant would look amazing in sequin fabric, I am very happy with the way they turned out!



These pants would look cute in lots of fabric choices and would also be perfect for New Years Eve!!
Please let me know if you have any questions and I would love to hear feedback! What do you think? Would you wear these?? Not going to lie- my husband said "It's a look" haha. But I love them anyways.

Low Back Bow-Tie Top

Happy D E C E M B E R!!!

The happiest month of the year!!





I don't know about you but I love being a little more "dressed-up" during the holidays! Even when I'm just in some jeans, I always reach for a fancier top and a pair of heels. Something that is a little more feminine, something that makes you feel like a girl :)

This is where the idea was rooted. Wanting a comfy top that was still special and dressy.
I started the search in Target looking for a comfy top to refashion and after not finding anything, went searching in my closet. Guess what! Found the most perfect thick cotton top that I had gotten from Target (on clearance) a couple years ago... laying on the bottom of my sweater pile, not being worn. I am sure you can find something too! A solid color would work best (black looks more dressed up) but make sure it's not a knit or silky/ super stretchy fabric (harder to work with!)


I had envisioned this top with a large stiff bow but since I was using what I had on hand, it turned into a more dainty simple tie which I still love! But I give you *creative freedom* to do as you wish! :)

What you need:
-Simple (thicker) cotton or similar top
-Ribbon/sash for the bow
-Sewing machine
-Scissors

Heres the video how-to!!

I hope the videos are helpful for you and you attempt to refashion something of your own!!

Please don't hesitate to ask questions!! Let me know if you tried this or it's something you will try!
