Pietra Pants & Shorts are the best of both worlds; a flat front, high-waisted silhouette with the comfort of an elastic waist in the back. Featuring lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay, you’ll never want to take them off.
Difficulty: Advanced beginner
Suggested Fabrics: This pattern can be made with a variety of fabrics depending on the desired effect. For a more defined shape, use structured wovens such as linen, chambray, or lightweight denim or twill (heavyweight wovens may create too much volume at the elastic waist). For a swishy, glamorous look, use rayon challis, tencel, or silk
Notions: 2” (50mm) wide elastic (1 yd / .9m), lightweight non-stretch fusible interfacing (.25 yd / .25m), matching thread
Sizes: 0 – 20. Available in PDF format up to size 30 on the Closet Core website.
