This item was made by unpicking and washing a kimono. These pants are easy to wear. They can be worn all year round, but in the coming season, wearing leggings underneath will keep you warm. They can be worn either way around. I didn't like how thick elastic waistbands bunch up, so I used two rows of thinner elastic. You'll be hooked once you try them! I'm busy for the rest of the year, so this type of item will be the last one I make.
