PDF Pattern - Pietra Pants + Shorts | Closet Core Patterns

Description

The Pietra Pants & Shorts are the best of both worlds; a flat front, high-waisted silhouette with the comfort of an elastic waist in the back. Featuring lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay, they are so comfortable you'll never want to take them off. Choose between four leg styles: a wide leg in floor-skimming or cropped length (View A), a slim and tapered leg (View B), or gently flared shorts (View C).

Suggested fabric type

This pattern can be made with a variety of fabrics depending on the desired effect. For a more defined shape, use structured wovens such as linen, chambray, or lightweight denim or twill (heavyweight wovens may create too much volume at the elastic waist). For a swishy, glamorous look, use rayon challis, tencel, or silk.

Supplies required

• 2” (50mm) wide elastic, knit or woven (1 yd / .9m)

• Lightweight non-stretch fusible interfacing (.25 yd / .25m)

• Polyester thread

• Marking tool
