Olene Pants Pattern
When your jeans feel rigid and your sweats feel sloppy...make something better!
Olene gives you the put-together-ness of "real" pants with the ease of stretchy waistband comfort + deep pockets you'll actually use! With 3 lengths and 4 hem options made for everyday movement and mindful making.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Size Range: 1-13 (see images for Finished Garment Measurements in inches)
Accommodates hip sizes from 36" - 59".
Design Details:
- Flat-front waistband with elastic sides/back for supreme comfort
- Optional waistband drawstring
- Large front pockets and optional back pockets
- Flat-felled center front vertical seam line
- Mid-high rise, perfect for tucking in shirts or leaving loose!
Variations:
- 3 length variations: Shorts, Full length, and Cropped length
- 4 hem variations: Straight, elastic jogger, drawstring, and buttoning roll-up tab
Suggested Fabrics: Woven non-stretch fabric is recommended for the entire project, but a mildly stretchy fabric should work, too! The instructions are optimized for linen or cotton fabric, in light- to medium-weight densities.
Notions:
- Matching thread
- 1" knit elastic for waistband, see chart for length
- 1/2" or 1" knit elastic for optional ankle hem, cut at low calf circumference
- 2 buttons (for optional button roll-up tabs)
