Made by Rae — Rose Pants Pattern

Rose Pants Pattern is a pattern from Made By Rae, with all the instructions you need to take it from page to finished project. Read the full details below for sizes, skill level and what you will need. It pairs nicely with the rest of our notions and supplies if you are filling a sewing kit.

Rose is a high-waisted pants and shorts sewing pattern featuring slash pockets and a pleated or gathered front. The front waist is flat while the back waist is elasticized for comfort and style. Choose from three lengths: long, cropped, or shorts.

This lovely printed pattern includes a complete instructions booklet and full-sized pattern pages packaged in a beautiful full-color coated cardstock envelope for easy storage.

YARDAGE & MATERIALS

• woven fabric (see yardage chart below for amounts)

• 3/4″ (19 mm)* wide elastic for the back waistband – depending on your size, you’ll need between 24-50″ [0.6-1.2m] in length, total.

• 1/4 yd (0.2 m) lightweight fusible interfacing**

• coordinating thread

* substitute 1.5″ (38 mm) wide elastic if you prefer a single channel of elastic; you’ll need half the total length as needed for 3/4″ / 19 mm wide elastic. I’ll post later this week about back waistband elastic options for more details on elastic widths.

** for interfacing less than 20” wide, sizes 1 and up will require ½ yd (0.4 m)

RECOMMENDED FABRICS

Light to medium weight woven fabric such as tencel twill, rayon challis, linen-rayon blends, silk noil, loose-weave cotton or linen blends, stretch twill, cotton sateen, or chambray.

In general: look for fabrics that have good drape and/or a looser weave; thicker “bottom weight” fabrics are not always recommended due to the elastic back waistband. While wovens with a small degree of stretch may work for this pattern, please note that Rose is not designed for knit fabric.
