The best wide leg pants sewing pattern for infinite styling possibilities

Pants sewing patterns for women take dozens of different forms, but nothing can really top the cozyness and versatility of a figure-flattering pair of a wide leg pant. We don't have some deep-seated aversion toward skinny trousers, but when it comes to warm weather, breezy and lightweight wide leg pants are the ideal vestiary choice. Ok, we have to give credit to Coco Chanel who was first spotted flaunting her own wide-leg design on the beach in the late 20s.

What's the difference between wide-leg pants and palazzo pants?

Is there a difference between the wide legged pants and the palazzo style? We hear you ask. Well, the short answer is yes. While both silhouettes may seem quite similar at first glance, everything comes down to the look and measurements. Wide-leg trousers have a relaxed fit with a straight cut from thigh to ankle. Palazzo trousers, on the other hand, are very wide throughout the leg with a flare at the waist. This often gives the impression of a skirt when looked at from afar.

Another key difference between palazzo and wide leg trousers is the choice of fabric. Palazzos pants are best suited for warm weather due to their lightweight fabric ( chiffon, silk, etc). Wide-leg pants can be made from a variety of fabrics (cotton, linen, etc), which makes them an all-year-round wardrobe superhero.

    Getting started!

    You'll need

    • Your Amalia PDF Pattern
    • Preferred fabric
    • Color matching thread
    • 1 hidden zipper 18 cm long
    • interlining for waistband
    • Sewing machine

    Seam Allowances:

    • 2 cm for hem
    • 1 cm for the rest of the seams

    Recommended Fabric

    Light weight or medium weight woven fabric, such as wool crepe, linen, cotton etc. For example, our sample was made out of viscose.

    How much fabric do you need for your diy wide legged pants pattern?

    The amount of fabric needed depends on the width of your material. All sizes are based on an useful fabric width of 140-150cm so please check the table below for sizing and amount of fabric required. If your fabric has a different width or design (think stripes, plaids etc), you'll need to adjust the placements of the pattern piece so that it fits your available width.

     


    Check your contraction!

    Before cutting your cloth, be sure to check its contraction. To carry out this step, iron the material on its maximum heat limit. This will ensure that your finished garment will remain true to its sewn size and won't shrink after initial washing.
