wrap pants?

[Randal]

Here's the pattern I use. http://oakdancer.com/parenting/paganpants.htm

Don't buy a pattern, it's ridiculously easy to draw your own. If I'm using striped material, I don't even use this pattern. I just fold the material in 1/2 width wise, then in 1/2 lengthwise, follow the stripes and freehand the curve.

I love wrap pants....as long as they aren't worn at faire. They are soooo not period. I wear mine all summer, after faire. I make em for my kids to wear a lot too. I really prefer to make and wear a harem-esque  styled pant...not nearly as much sewing and less hassle when I scurry into the privy.

I have a pair, as do most of my friends, and found out a couple of points of interest... Firstly, one of my friends is from India and she laughs at us all for wearing what is, in her country, pajamas called lungees (pronounced loon-ghees). Secondly, males wear theirs front flapped versus women's back flapped. Privy necessitates the differences.

I had wondered about the privy thing....  Just sounds like these are pants you wouldn't want to be wearing during an ale-drinking day, lol!

Oh no, they are not fun trying to get off in a rush.

Actually, I would think it would be rather easy for ladies (in my experience it's not so easy for guys), since all you'd have to do is undo the front ties which would let fall the 'back end' of the pants. Done.

It is pretty easy to get "access" to go to the bathroom in them, since all you have to do is undo one set of ties.  Go for a bow, not a square knot and it's really easy.

The trick is that you have to then gather the pants up in front of you, before they land on the toilet/bathroom floor, which requires both hands and a bit of coordination.  Easy if your hands are free, but if you're trying to juggle things like your purse, belt pouches, mugs, daggers, etc, it can be a bit tricky.

We always called them "stupid pants"

I haven't even THOUGHT about "stupid pants" in an eon!  I must have made two or three dozen of those for myself and friends, from quick-and-cheap to fancy printed linens.
I moved the 'crotch' towards the front a bit so the overlap would be closer to the front of the leg.  It always made it more interesting when you walked, catching a breeze and flaring open.  Also, I got good at tying the bottom on the inside of the legs to hide the knot.
I never had any trouble on a 'privy-run' myself.

It just occurred to me that I don't tie the bottom of the pants together when I wear them.  My privy instructions probably wouldn't work if you did, seeing as you couldn't just pull all the fabric up like it was a skirt.
