"Making Tenugui Pants"

I made cropped pants with Vintage Tenugui which I have been getting from friends in Japan.  "Tenugui" is a Traditional Japanese Cotton Kitchen Cloth.

They are very light cotton with many interesting prints on them.  The print could be name of the shop and telephone number, or logo.  And they are pre-cut for less than a yard, and it's width is narrower than regular cotton fabrics.  Therefor sewing starts before cutting them with patterns.  Since I'm planning to wear them often during summer months they needed to be strong, so every seam got French-seamed.

Here are the photos of "Making Tanugui Pants" 

It is important for you to try on to see how it fits before you complete your sewing.  
In this case I put on one side of the pants when it was finished except for the hem. After that, I sew the crotch then waist line, then hem.  This particular pant gets a drawstring at the waist.
