Supplies you will need:
- Space Palazzo PDF pattern
- Fabric

Recommended Fabrics:
Light weight or medium weight woven fabric, suitable for pants. For instance, we made our sample out of crepe. But linen would be a great option too. Or maybe rayon.
How much fabric do you need for your DIY pants?
The following table shows the amount of fabric needed for each size. While this is estimated for 140-150 cm wide fabrics, other widths and different designs like stripes, plaids etc will require you to adjust the placement of the patterns on your fabric accordingly to its width.
Check your contraction!
Test your fabric for contraction before cutting by steaming the raw material on its maximum heat limit. This way your finished garment will remain true to its sewn size and won't shrink after first wash.
