Some common questions and answers below:

Question : What types of fabric should I use to make my phat pants?

Answer : There are many types of fabric that can be used. I like using medium & light weight cottons. Another fav or mine is denim. It really depends on what you prefer though. When you go fabric shopping looking isn’t everything, I have to feel fabric before I’m sold on it. Fabric that is soft and tightly woven tend to make great pants. If you are adding the plastic type reflective trim, you have to remember that the fabric shouldn’t be to thin. You would use a fabric that matches the weight of the trim.

Another thing you want to take into consideration is the event you are making your phat pants for. If you know you are going to be outside and it’s going to be hot, you will want to use a light weight fabric like cotton. Nylon or nylon blends tend to trap the heat and will make you feel like you have a swamp in your pants. If you are going to be in a cold environment , you will want something that will keep you warm, yet be able to breath so you don’t over heat while dancing.

Question : Where do you get reflective trim?

Answer : I shop around all the time trying to get a good deal. Most of the time I use ebay. There are many sellers on ebay that combine shipping and you get a decent deal. Since the sellers change all the time, I recommend looking frequently and saving the seller once you have found one you trust.
