Step-by-Step Guide to Making Beach Towel Pants
Are you ready to create your beach towel pants?
Let’s make the process straightforward. Here are several easy and manageable steps you should follow to complete the job.
Choosing the Right Materials
Start by selecting a high-quality beach towel. When shopping, look for towels that are soft, absorbent, and large enough for creating pants. A standard towel typically does the trick but two may be needed depending on your pants style preferences if longer or looser pants are desired. Make your pants more eye-catching with vibrant colors or patterns!
Taking Accurate Measurements
Accurate measurements are key for creating the ideal pair of trousers. Measure the waist, hips and desired length of your pants, adding in seam allowance and hem allowance when taking measurements for seams/hems/hems. Jot these down before cutting the fabric.
Cutting the Fabric
Lay your towel flat on a cutting surface. With a fabric marker and ruler in hand, trace out your pants according to measurements using fabric marking tape. Ensure symmetry by folding the towel in half over itself simultaneously as cutting through both layers simultaneously, yielding two identical pieces for both the front and back of the pants.
Sewing the Pieces Together
Pin the fabric pieces with their right sides together and sew along each edge with the right sides together, leaving an opening for the waistband and leg holes. A sewing machine makes for neat, durable seams, but hand stitching also works—just ensure your stitches are tight and even.
Adding the Waistband and Finishing Touches
Fold the top edge of your pants over to form a waistband, insert an elastic band or drawstring for adjustable comfort, hem the bottom edges to prevent fraying, turn them right side out and try them on for fit to ensure they’re comfortable and well-fitted. Make any necessary modifications until they fit perfectly!
Personalizing Your Beach Towel Pants
Personalizing your beach towel pants adds a distinctive flair
Adding Pockets
Pockets can add functionality and style. Use leftover towel fabric to craft pockets and sew them onto your pants; depending on your personal preference, place them on either side or back.
Embroidery and Tassels
Use embroidery floss to stitch designs onto your pants, and sew on some bohemian flair with sew-on tassels affixed to their hems or waistbands for a bohemian vibe.
