Perennial Pants Collection: Versatility is what this pattern is all about. A great combination with Kayla's other Top and Jacket patterns. Never out of style. Make these pants over and over again in various fabrics for all occasions. Make the in silk for an elegant evening garment, or linen for an easy wear daytime look, or even in cotton for a comfy pair of PJ's! Easy construction, no side seam, soft elastic waist with two or three pleats for a comfortable and roomy, but stylish look.
Variations include:
Japanese Cut - with a dart in the front hem
Straight Leg - just leave out the hem dart
Crop Pant - for the warmer months (dart or no dart)
And...add a big knee-high pocket to all styles, for a whimsical look (and a great place for a boarding pass while waiting for the plane!)
Notions: 1 1/4" wide elastic for waistband (your waist measurement minus one or two inches), thread to match the fabric, three or four cones if you plan to serge the seams.
