I love when a new silhouette hits the fashion scene, especially when it's pants. Culottes? Flares? I'm totally there. So when I started seeing wrap pants, I instantly fell in love. I love that they look casual yet are super interesting. You could never look like you're not trying in a pair of these pants but at the same time they look so comfortable to wear. Read on to see how I would DIY these denim wrap pants.
How to DIY Cropped Wrap Pants
Step 1: Today's inspiration is this pair of denim cropped wrap pants by SEA.
Step 2: The Nehalem Pants pattern by Sew House Seven is perfect for recreating the cropped wrap style. Move the pockets closer to the waist and add an angled opening for your hands to get a look closer to the inspiration pants. If you're not a fan of the cropped length, the pattern also has a full length version.
Step 3: A nice light-weight denim is the ideal choice for wrap pants. I found this 6 oz denim in classic blue from Fabric Depot. Unlike a lot of denim styles, this wrap style does not require stretch.

I love the casual, summery look of a tie-front top. It's a little retro, a little flirty and so fun. This is the perfect kind of top to wear with a skirt or casual pants. It's more polished than a t-shirt but the loose fit makes it comfortable enough to wear all day long. I'd wear this outfit anytime from running errands to meeting up for drinks with friends. Read on to see how I would DIY it.
It's finally gotten cold enough in LA that I need to bundle up. I can almost pretend that it's cold enough to warrant a wool coat. At least when the sun goes down it's cold enough. :) I love the boxy fit and assymmetrical style. And bonus! This is a fairly easy thing for you to make yourself. Read on to see how I would DIY it.
The jumpsuit has been back for a few years now and it seems to have no intention of going away soon. I've been loving the comfort of a knit jumpsuit but I'm intrigued by a fitted woven jumpsuit. It's almost a dress but surprise! you can run around and do all the high kicks you want without worrying that anyone will see your knickers. Totally dressy with an element of unexpected fun. Today, I'm sharing how I would DIY this beauty of a fitted jumpsuit.
Today I have a fun and easy Lou Box Top/Dress hack to share with you – a split hem, color-blocked sweater dress. This dress is made using the cotton sweater knit currently in my shop. When I selected this fabric, I had a vision of this dress and I’m so pleased that it turned out exactly how I envisioned it. There was a moment during the making of it that I thought it was going to be an utter failure but it worked out. phew!
