Poofy Pants

Intro
This pattern uses most of 2-2.5 yards of fabric, depending on your height and where you like your pants to sit. It’s very impressionistic, and easy to modify to your preferences. They're a good general poofy pant, good for many garb styles. My wife wears them as Viking pants, wrapped with winingas.

Measurements
A: From where you want the waistband to sit to your ankle + 2 inches ­­­________________

B: Widest measurement around your butt or hips + 1.25 inch ________________

C: At least 2x your ankle measurement + 1.25 inch________________

D: At least the measurement from your waistband in front, between your legs, to your waistband in the back, but these pants are meant to be poofy, so I usually use half the full width of the fabric ________________

Instructions
Fold widthwise so the folded fabric measures A long. ]] Mark the waistband curve by using a fabric measuring tape to mark 1/4th B. I prefer an oval waistband, but you can also make it round. Now mark the inseam. It should go from the C measurement to the D measurement, with a gentle curve. Narrower at the ankle and fuller in the thigh and butt. ]]
 * 1) Prep fabric by washing it as you intend to wash the finished garment. Wool yardage.jpg

 * 7) Attach to the waistband, leaving a gap to insert tie or elastic. There are a number of ways to do this and a lot of tutorials online. A good search term is “separate elastic waistband casing”.Attached waist.jpg
