Divine Dream

While thrifting I came upon this blanket. Just look at that pattern 😻 and as much as I love it as a blanket, I thought it'd be even better as pants. I used the whole width of the blanket so on the front panels and the hem of the pants I have the finished edge of the blanket- and let me tell you, I love my serger <3 I finished every edge and played around with side pockets for this project. Their billowy leg adds a good silhouette, movement and comfort for a good lounge pant. Blanket pants are some of my go too- they're so fun and realistically how many people are buying small blankets, it's a great way to upcycle  and especially if they have rips or stains that would deem them unworthy of buying! The new thing I learned and tried with this pant is, on the sides where I wanted to keep the original edge of the blanket I topstitched it over the edge of the back panel- and this time I serged the back panels side so that it would hold the edges together and create a more finished and intentional look on the inside. I'm pleased with the outcome and it should add to the pants longevity. I'm excited to see who their new home will be! Happiness to you *
