I’ve spotted a few cool looking wide-leg pants online which have sporty stripes down the side, and I was particularly smitten by a pair of brown linen pants with stripes (which I haven’t been able to find again), so while I was looking to see whether I could buy any RTW pants like this in my size (spoiler alert: I couldn’t) I zoomed up close and realised that they had just sewn twill tape on, which was something I absolutely could do myself to pants that actually DID fit me!
And so these pink linen Muna and Broad Glebe Pants got racing stripes! This 15mm natural-coloured twill tape sewed down the side seams after a rough iron. Thanks to the wide-leg, it was pretty easy to add the twill tape to already constructed pants (I started at the hem and sewed my way up), but I might even experiment with adding twill tape to new pants next time!
