  1. Jolene

    Over all, sewing this garment was fun, the end result is a sturdy, functional yet comfortable pair of pants . I wanted to actually sew them to their completion, as true to stated layout and sewing directions. Especially the waistband. It seemed daunting, as it’s four pattern pieces (back waist, left front, right front and ribbing), plus elastic sandwiched at the top of the ribbing knit upper half. That part turned out well. Just pay attention to the well written instructions and illustrations. I’m a fan of the two Ring Snaps (Dritz brand) at the waistband, made them sporty looking, and easy to get in ‘n out of. My pants did not have a gap in the back when I sat down in them, nice ! I think one could easily use a contour waistband type from say the North Point Trousers as a guide, while still using the original waistband pattern pieces if you need to skip the rib knit top half. I did find it vexing to try to find a rib knit to match my pant fabric. I actually use a piece of ponte knit. One thing that I did add was a narrow, long pocket on the left side leg (just below the slash front pocket) to hold my cellphone. I have two horses that I trail ride almost daily. A phone just plain won’t work in the back seat pocket, nor will it work in the front slash pockets, and you get distracted and Poked in the leg if there is something in a thigh side pocket. Perhaps my next pair I would add an inch to the torso length for my personal comfort. I liked the bottom leg width, easy to cover tops of ankle boots 🥾.

    Well written instructions, I got a nice fit on the first pair, I need to make the waist smaller but that is an easy adjustment.

  3. Darlene

    fits well and very comfortable

  4. Randi

    I’ve purchased two of your patterns and have noted that the amount of fabric needed for each is show at 54″ wide. Cotton woven fabric comes in 41″ width where I shop. How are we supposed to figure yardage correctly when we do not have 54″ fabric?

    The pattern design is practical and comfortable with the ribbing/elastic waistband. Instructions are clear and concise.

    I agree with previous reviewer about thigh room – this pattern does not seem drafted for curvy figures at all. I graded from a 14 at the waist to an 18 at the hip and even added an inch to the back rise, and I still can’t sit in them. The hip is too tight, the thigh is too tight, and the waist is too loose. I was surprised because cargo pants are usually fairly loose-fitting and most of the release announcement pics showed baggy pants on people.

    Pattern pieces 12 and 12Z have lines for sizes 4-12 and sizes 16-20. I was starting with size 14, so… I ended up just using the larger size since I graded to a larger one at the hip.

    Step 19 was unclear on whether the right fly was supposed to lie flush with the left fly; it just says “lay naturally flat”. Mine laid somewhat naturally flat but not flush with the edge of the fly. I tried to make it flush and then ripped it out because that made it even wonkier down the line.

    Step 26 there was not nearly enough room to serge the fly excess off to finish the raw edge while attaching the zipper guard and cutting off the excess fly. I had to finish the zipper guard edge alone, sew it on, and then leave an extra 3/8″ on the fly when I removed the excess instead of being flush with the zipper guard.

    Like the styling details, overall reasonable instructions, but I’m going to have to make a ton of adjustments to make this something I can go hiking in unless I never sit down ever.

    Sizing on these seems off. If your thighs aren’t super skinny, they are very snug. Far less ease than expected for a relaxed cargo pant.
    But: neat features, good instructions.

    Even my daughter wants some of these!

    Great pattern

  14. Dawn

    These cargo pants are great. Quite a detailed pattern, with a lot of top stitching so it takes a while to make, but with clear instructions easy to follow. Really pleased with the fit as well good sizing.

  15. Agnes Reimets

    I am really satisfied with this pattern. I made both options: long and short. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The best fly front zipper insertion method I have seen.

How to choose your size

  1. Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  2. Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  3. It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
  4. If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.
