Easiest Pants EVER

I’m not kidding, Amy Butler makes the easiest, straight-forward patterns I have ever seen. I love wide leg pants. I find nothing more comfortable. In fact, the only reason I bought the In Stitches book is because there was a pattern for wide leg lounge pants in them. You’ll have to draft the pattern yourself based on her template, and they have a 29 inch inseam. There’s your warning. I ended up cutting 5 inches off and putting a 2 inch hem in them. Yes, I do have short legs, thanks for noticing.

Overall, these pants took about 2 and a half hours to complete. About a half hour was spent completing my own alteration to the pattern. The pattern calls for a draw string. I chose to put in an elastic wasitband instead. Both are pregnancy friendly, and I prefer elastic. I also chose to omit the trim embellishment at the bottom, although I reserve the right to change my mind about that decision later.
