My palazzo pants are among the most worn of all my garments. They are super comfortable and contradictorily trendy as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a summer favorite Palazzo is there among the top. Flowing, breezy, relaxing, loose, and stylish all describe Palazzo pants very well.<\/span><\/p>\n

They team up well with tunics, blouses, t-shirts, skirts, kurtas, and Kaftans.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think they look the best with fitted tops and blouses because the silhouette of Palazzo pants (like Harem pants) can get a little baggy if the flare of the pants is too wide. These pants go very well with crop tops with a slight show of well-toned midriff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When sewing pants, the most important thing is fit. Style comes close behind.’ Being comfortable does not mean that you should sacrifice fit. Most parallel pants come with extra bulk at the waist and hip. But not this one. This will hug your hips lovingly and flare beneath to good shape. Choose the flare you want, sew Palazzo pants for yourself, and join the tribe.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much cloth do you need to sew a Palazzo?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Double the measure from your waist ( where you will tie the palazzo) and add .25 meters. That is how much fabric you need for palazzo pants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Basic colors like Black, White, and navy blue work well with most upper wear. You can also choose to sew these pants in printed fabrics. I especially like the Elephant prints on Palazzo pants. They look ethnic and modern at the same time.s\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to make a pattern for\u00a0Palazzo pants ?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

There are two methods for making Palazzo pants; the first one is the easiest, but it is slightly baggy; the second one is more fitted around the hips and waist.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Method 1. Easy Palazzo pants pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Cut<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Very easy – finished – Just insert 1\/2″ wide elastic with a pin and you have a palazzo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Checkout the tutorial to sew a drawstring lounge pants<\/a> which is very similar, but with a different band for the waistband<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Method 2 – Palazzo pants<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

This pattern makes Palazzo pants with a flat front and elastic waistband back.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"flat<\/p>\n

Step 1 Cut out the pattern pieces for the legs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You will have to take two pieces of fabric with a length equalling your final pant length plus 4 inches. Keep the two fabrics right sides together. You can mark the pattern given below.<\/span><\/p>\n

( I have a shortcut for marking this – Fold the two pieces by the center. Mark the pattern given below for the back alone. Then open the fold and then on one side, mark the front and cut it out)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"how<\/span><\/p>\n

\"pattern<\/p>\n

Fold the fabric pieces by the center; mark the back piece and cut it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"palazzo<\/span><\/p>\n

Open and cut out the front pattern on one side<\/span><\/p>\n

\"palazzo<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2 Sew the leg inseams<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Keep the edges of one leg piece together( right sides inside) and sew the inseam together. Do this for both the legs<\/span><\/p>\n

\"make<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3 Sew the crotch seam<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

You have the two leg pieces; now they have to be joined together at the crotch seam. Keep them together and stitch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"palazzo<\/span><\/p>\n

Make two stitching lines for extra safety<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Join

Step 4 Sew darts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now on the front part, I have made two darts on each side – 8 inches long. This is to make it more fitting on the front. Know more about darts here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mark
Mark Two tucks on either side of the front of the pants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The dart width is calculated like this. Take the measure of the top edge of the pant piece you have made; the circumference of the top edge – say it is 50 inches. Take half of this 25 inches (take this as A)\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Take your waist round. Say it is 30 inches; take half of this – ie 15 inches (take this as B). Subtract B from A ; so 25 -15\u00a0 is 10″ in my case.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have to contain this 10 inch inside the 4 darts. Divide this (10″) by 4 (which is the number of darts I will make). I get 2.5 inch for each dart. This is the width of each dart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark 4 such darts (2 on each side) which are 2.5 inch wide and 8 inches long\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mark
Mark the tucks – 8 inches long<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sew the darts from the inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Make
Make tucks at the front of the palazzo pants – on either sides<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Remember to taper the darts to a point and tie the thread tails together (no backstitching at the end of the dart unless you are an expert)<\/span><\/p>\n

Press from the darts on the back and the right-hand side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5 Make Waistband<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Now on to making waist bands<\/span><\/p>\n

Cut out two pieces of fabric 3 inches wide<\/span><\/p>\n

One fabric piece should be of length equalling half of your waist plus 1 ” extra.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other fabric piece should be of length equalling measurement of the top edge minus half of your waist round plus 1″ extra for seam allowance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"palazzo
Join the two waistband pieces together at the short ends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Join the two pieces to form a tube.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"plazzo<\/span><\/p>\n

Fold this piece by the center and press<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Waistband<\/span><\/p>\n

Cut\u00a0 a piece of elastic measuring half of your waist minus 1″<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Waistband
Waistband tube – Keep the elastic inside the folded waistband fabric piece<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Keep it to the inside of the waistband you have made. Stitch the ends on either sides on the seam joining line<\/span><\/p>\n

\"attach<\/span><\/p>\n

This will gather the back of the waistband. Baste stitch the waistband edges together so that it is easy for you when you sew it together.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"palazzo<\/span><\/p>\n

Stitch the waistband to the pant piece. Aligning the center of the front waistband and the leg piece and start stitching there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"waistband<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 3. A more fitted pants pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is a more fitted pants compared to the more parallel fitting of the above pattern. This is easy to make as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can make a paper pattern or mark directly on the cloth for this pattern. You need to cut four pieces of the pattern – 2 pattern pieces for the front leg and two for the back leg. This is sewn like a regular pant – 4 pieces of patterns. The back pattern is slightly wider than the front pattern.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To make the back leg pattern, You need to base it on the front leg pattern. So After you have made the pattern for the front leg, keep the front leg pattern\u00a0on top of the fabric \/ paper and mark the back pattern as a continuation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"harem<\/span><\/p>\n

\"palazzo\"<\/p>\n

Keep the above pattern on a bigger paper or fabric and mark the extra as in the diagram below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to increase the width from the crotch line and waist line by about 2 inches and increase the height in the back by about 1 inch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stitching instructions for a Palazzo pants<\/span><\/p>\n

How to sew Palazzo Pants\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A step by step instructions to sew a similar pants is given in the post – Draft and sew a \u00a0Pajama Pants <\/a>– Check it out for detailed tutorial with photos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"pyjama<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong> After you have cut the 4 pieces of patterns, Align one front leg and one back leg right sides together. Stitch along the Outer seam first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/strong> Stitch the inseam. It is better to do 2 lines of stitching to make the seams\u00a0strong. You can finish the fabric edges as well now.Check out the different\u00a0types of seam finishes<\/a>. \u00a0You now have two leg pieces<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3.<\/strong> Join the crotch lines of the two legs. Turn one leg of the pants inside out.
\nThe other leg should be left right side out. Slip one of the leg inside the other, right sides together so that crotch seams are aligned. Pin along. Stitch the seam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sew atleast double line of stitches\u00a0through the seam line. You want the crotch seam line super strong for obvious reasons. Finish the seam edges with a serger, zigzag stitch. I sometimes like to do a french seam or a turned under finish to the seams here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4.<\/strong> Finish the hem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5.<\/strong> Make the elastic casing for the waistband. Cut elastic 1 inch less than your waist measure. You can also try the elastic on your waist ( where you will tie the pants ) for a snug fit and \u00a0add 1\/2 inch seam allowance and cut it out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An alternative to elastic casing is to add a waist band with buckle in the front and elastic casing at the back. You will be having a zipper on the side seam as opening here. For this the pattern has to be cut differently from the above pattern.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
