RAINBOW BALLOON PANTS
I made these pants for Burning Man 2013, but they were also great for New Year’s Eve.
The metallic rainbow fabric is just that, found in the clearance section at Joann, back in 2010. The teal waistband is a wonderful modal jersey that is now all gone from my fabric cabinet (but I also ...Read more.
