Pattern: Burdastyle
Fabric: Soy, organic Cotton, Elastane Knit
I love these pants. I have been eying all the dropped crotch patterns for over a year now. They haven’t quite made it to the pacific northwest it seams, but have been popular last summer in Europe. So this pattern is from Burdastyle. Funnily enough it’s almost the same color then the original one. I had a bit of fabric left from my yoga line, seek. I have been wearing these pants to yoga and workout and they are so comfy. I did a couple of changes because the original pant is made in a woven: I omitted the side ties and just used a wide fold-over waistband. Everything else is the same. I was so inspired by the pants, that I made L. one in a smaller version.
And because I just wanted to try myself in drafting and grading a pattern, I share this guy with you. Just click on the picture to the left and a tiled .pdf should download immediately.
Size 90 cm – 160cm
Recommend: Knit fabrics with a bit of stretch, but cut’up tee shirts should be good too!
I included the instructions on the page, but they are admittedly very, very rudimentary. Seam allowances are included too. Hope you enjoy making them and if you do, let me know, send pictures my way. I’d love to see them!
These are great! I think i need to make some for myself for summer and definitely some for my girls too. Thanks for sharing.
Please do! I’d be thrilled to see another children’s version.
So adorable! Matching mama and daughter yogis!! I love it. Sometimes you just need something special for yoga.
You are so right, Sandra. They are pretty cute. The children’s version is obviously the cuter one. But isn’t this always the case?
Ooh one of my favourite blogging friends just made a pair of sarouel pants for her son. She drafted the pattern herself and while I usually am confident with these sorts of things I had no idea where to start!
So thanks for the pattern!
I loved your pattern and gave it a go. I added 2 extra pleats and took the waist in and am really thrilled with the final result… check it out.
