In this sewing tutorial, I’m showing you how I make my own flared pants—aka “booty pants”—for that cute retro vibe that always comes back around. I walk you through the full process step-by-step so you can follow along whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been on your sewing machine for a minute. The goal is to take fabric (or even transform old jeans) and turn them into a pair of custom flares that fit your body the way you actually want. I also share how I think about the shape of the flare and the overall fit so the pants look intentional—not costume-y. Once you’ve got your base, you can tweak the flare width and length to match your style, then finish it in a way that looks clean and wearable. By the end, you’ll have a handmade pair of flared pants you can style a bunch of different ways, plus the confidence to keep remixing patterns and old pieces into something new.
