Paperbag Pants Makes from the Web
[One change I would make is to] make the waist band a separate pattern piece from the entire pants, so that when I sewed the pants piece and the waist band together, I could use that seam line as my definite fold down line to be sure that my fold was symmetric.
Our notes: This lightweight crepe print makes these pants cool and comfy for summer. As the pictures show, they make great playclothes!
Once you start the matching outfits you won't be able to stop!
Our notes: Same fabric, same pattern, but it never gets boring, just even cuter. These pants look comfy, and we love hearing that the sewist's children appreciate the hard work that goes into making so many outfits!
if you’re questioning a paper bag waist... add a belt!
Our notes: These shorts have a great fit, including adjustments that a sewist learns after trying out many different styles. The only way to learn is to sew more patterns!
