Getting Started with DIY Blanket Pants

Kickstarting your DIY blanket pants project begins with the perfect blanket, and I've got just the tip for you! On my latest treasure hunt, I stumbled upon an amazing find in the clearance section of the Rowing Blazers collection at Target. I snagged this adorable blanket for only $15! It's the ideal candidate for a chic DIY blanket pant. Inspired by the trendy styles I've been eyeing on TikTok and Pinterest, this blanket's vibrant mix of orange, blue, and green — my absolute favorite complementary colors — is just what we need. Check out our latest blog post and YouTube video where I dive into transforming this find into fabulous pants. You won't want to miss it!

CUTTING THE ROWING BLAZER BLANKET

I had this vision in my head for a while – to showcase the Rowing Blazer caption boldly down the front of one leg. But when I actually got down to it, the blanket's layout and its width threw a wrench in my plans. After a bit of rethinking, I came up with a new strategy: why not split the caption along the sides of the pants? It meant incorporating the fringe, adding a bit of complexity and extra time to the project. But that's the beauty of DIY blanket pants, right? The final design always depends on the blanket's print and your creative adaptability. Keep reading for more insights into how this unique piece came together!

Choosing the Right Materials

The key to a successful DIY project is selecting the right materials. For blanket pants, you need a blanket that's not just pretty but also are not to small, durable and comfortable. If you can find a blanket that has some stretch that would be even better for comfort. But the trend of these styles don't tend to have stretch. But it is worth a try. And don't forget the sewing essentials: a good pair of scissors, thread, pins, and, of course, your trusty sewing machine.

Designing Your Blanket Pants

Now, let's talk about design. Do you want them baggy or fitted? Long or cropped? It's all up to you! I used a pattern I already purchased at joanns. But you can also trace pants that you already have! Just fold your pants in half and trace along the edges. Ensure to add ½” at min around the edges for seam allowance. Remember, it's your creation, so feel free to get creative with the pattern and style.

Sewing It All Together

Sewing blanket pants is surprisingly straightforward if you have sewn pants before. Start by cutting out your pattern pieces, then sew them together.

Adding Unique Touches

This is where the fun really starts! Personalize your blanket pants with unique elements. Maybe add some pockets, decorative stitches, or even a drawstring waist for extra comfort. These little details can turn a simple pair of pants into a standout piece in your wardrobe. Typically these pants have fringe down the side seams. So I decided to keep it with the trend. But these are your pants you can design them how you’d like.
