DIY Comfy Straight-Leg Pants w/Elastic Waistband + PDF Sewing Pattern

Hi everyone! Today I’m so excited to show you how to sew these gorgeously comfy & dressy straight-leg pants :) Literally the most comfortable thing to wear - I'm happy to share this with you 🥰

I’m using my Zefir PDF downloadable sewing pattern, get it here:

Here are the materials you’ll need:
- 1.45-2.3 m (1.6-2.6 yds) stretch knit fabric
- Elastic 4-5 cm wide, 64-100 cm long
- Fusible interfacing for the pocket
- Twin stretch needle (optional)
- Machine needle for knit fabric
- matching thread
- glasshead pins
- scissors
- measurement tape
- Zefir pattern

the design. For example, I used a French Terry Knit fabric for these green pants, so they are more flowy, light, and drape nicely. For these gray pants, I used a Sweatshirt Knit fabric, and as you can see instead of the fabric draping down to the ground with its weight, the fabric holds the straight shape of the pant leg in a more pronounced way.
