   I substantially changed this pattern to be a tight-fitting, yoga pant style. It was simply a matter of starting with a somewhat smaller size than was indicated by the size guide and making some adjustments to the front and back rise so that the top of the waist band falls at the natural waist line. After a couple of trial muslins to get the fit right, I have made several pairs of pants in 4-way stretch poly spandex and am very pleased with the results.

   Best pant pattern ever. This pattern just became my favorite because it’s easy (three pieces) and, with just my standard adjustments, it fit beautifully. I’ve now made several pairs including one out of a heavy knit fabric. All fit well and look nice. Thank you Style Arc.

   These are my go to trousers!! I use them in my pyjama patterns as well and add pockets! Simple, quick and always turn out spot on…so much so that I need to reprint as my pattern is falling to bits!!

   First apparel sewing in a few years so wanted something in the ‘easy’ category. This pattern was exactly what i was wanting. The download and putting together was not too onerous and the trousers are just as i imagined. I did have to adjust for ‘flat seat’ but that was not difficult at all. I now have 3 pairs of pants that i wear with comfort and am planning on sewing more in different colors. Great service and patterns…..

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
