Essentials

• Jersey fabric, 1.5m (145cm)
• Elastic, 3cm wide
• Tracing paper (optional)

Sizes

• The diagram has been drafted to fit sizes 10-12 approximately. To alter the pattern to your size, take your hip measurement, add 30cm then divide by 4 – this will be the width of your pattern e.g. hip measurement 92cm + 30cm = 122cm divided by 4 = 36cm. Adjust the length to your requirements. To adjust the waistband, add 9cm to your waist measurement e.g. waist 68cm + 9cm = 77cm.
• 1.5cm seam allowance used.

Cutting Guide

• Note: start by taking your waist and hip measurements
• Pants (for front/back): cut one pair* on the fold (hip measurement + 30cm, divided by 4) x 95cm
• Waistband: cut one strip 24cm x (waist measurement + 9cm)
• Leg cuff: cut two 12cm x 26cm strips
• *The pants front piece is cut 2cm lower at the top than the back
• The following is based on a size 10-12 (92cm hip, 68cm waist).
• Pants: (92 [hip] + 30cm, ÷ 4 = 30.5*) 30.5cm x 95cm (95cm is length, adjust if needed)
• Waistband: 24 x (68 [waist] + 9** = 77) 24cm x 77cm * Extra 7.5cm (the +30cm ÷ 4) width on the hip is for ease (6cm), plus seam allowance (1.5cm)
• ** Extra 9cm width on the waistband is for ease (6cm) plus seam allowance (3cm)
