About this pattern

Stylish and versatile, harem pants can easily be dressed up or down and this flattering design by Amanda Walker allows you to create your own personalised pattern. The soft jersey and elasticated waist makes them comfortable to wear, plus you can practise gathering stitches, as well as overlocking or stretch stitches.

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)

    3 Turn one leg to the right side, place inside the unturned leg and match the crotch edges together, the back crotch being longer than the front. Pin and stitch together in one continuous seam. Set your sewing machine to a long gathering
