Pants that feel like pajamas, but are fancy enough to go out in!
This pattern includes a full size range, from newborn to adult 6X. You can make a wide leg pant, or a bubble pant by adding the included cuffs. The adult pattern has two waistband heights, for a lower rise or yoga band. We included instructions on how to remove the pleat, for a flat front pant. Large pockets are included in size 2T and up. Adult sizes have two short lengths and three pant lengths.
Fits pregnant bodies with no modifications needed. Great for postpartum, but the waistband seam may bother c-section wounds/scars (sew the waistband seam on the outside to avoid irritation).
Skill Level: Good for beginners who have worked with lightweight knits. The pocket may be tricky for some sewists.
Fabric: This pattern was drafted for at least 20% stretch fabrics. The waistband fabric needs to be at least 50% stretch. Vertical stretch is not necessary, but will make your pant more comfortable when sitting. Avoid thicker fabrics, as the pleat will not lay nicely. Bamboo/spandex, merino wool rib knit, merino/spandex, cotton/spandex, double brushed polyester, ribbed knits.
Maternity friendly: Yes
Nursing friendly: N/A

Print Internationally
Our tiles have two layers, labeled A4 and Letter. US printers use the Letter layer, and everyone else can use A4!
Trimless Tiles
We designed our tiles to save paper and be easy to assemble. Place the guidelines on top of each other and tape or glue. The letter layer has solid guidelines with a star in each corner. The A4 layer has dashed guidelines with a circle in each corner. Each page has a number, and the tutorial has an assembly chart.
Copyshop Printing
A0 pages are 33.25" by 60" and are printable at most copyshops. We design ours to be printable in black and white. There are no passwords on any of our files.
Projector Optimized Files
Every pattern comes with a projector optimized pdf file. See what our projector file includes here.
