Pocket 1: Jean-style front pocket featuring fold over pocket bag & rounded pocket opening.

Pocket 3: Front welt pocket. Diagonal welt pocket with 1-layer pocket bag stitched on the inside of the pant leg.
Pocket 4: Back patch pocket.
Pocket 5: Back welt pocket. If you're always wanted to sew a welt pocket but were too scared, try this one. It is a simplified version of the classic welt pocket. We even have a video showing you how.
The Walk Boldly Wide Leg Pants sewing pattern are snug at the waist, fitting closely over the tummy & bottom without being tight, showcasing a gracefully flared wide leg that starts at the waist and extends all the way to the hem. We have included darts along the back for a better fit on our curves. The fit through the crotch is close but not snug. Of course fabrics with heavier drape, like rayon or bamboo, will tend to force the crotch to sit slightly lower away from the body.
STYLE DIFFERENCES: You've probably seen that we're a little obsessed with wide leg pants of all varieties. So, what are the differences between our different wide leg sewing patterns?

SUITABLE FABRIC: This Wide Leg Pants pattern is designed for stretch knit fabrics with elastane, spandex or lycra. These include 4-way or 2-way stretch with vertical give.
STRETCH FACTOR: Horizontal Stretch: Min. 30%. Vertical Stretch: Min. 20%.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: View the chart here.
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: Bamboo Elastane, Cotton Lycra, Crepe Knit, Double Brushed Poly (DBP), French Terry (FT), ITY, Liverpool, Merino Wool Knit, Modal Elastane, Poly Elastane Jersey, Poly Rib Knit, Ponte (rayon based), Rayon Elastane, Rayon Rib Knit, Scuba (my fave), Single Brushed Poly (SBP), Stretch Velvet (velour), Sweater Knit, Swimwear Spandex, Viscose Elastane.
Q: My fabric has horizontal stretch but only vertical 'give'. Can I use it?
Yes. If your fabric has vertical give (or less than 15% vertical stretch), it will need a minimum of 50% horizontal stretch to balance this out. Note that these fabrics may also sit lower on the body in the rise.
Q: My fabric has a lot of vertical stretch. Can I use it?
Yes. Just keep in mind that a lot of vertical stretch can result in your pants ‘growing’ in length both at the hemline & crotch. Examples include rayon, viscose, bamboo & ITY. Sewing pockets on super stretchy fabrics may also be problematic & require extra patience & experience.
In my What's In The Pattern video (linked above), my light grey rayon rib knit falls into this category. I reduced the rise by 4cm (1.5") to account for the super stretchiness of this fabric.
Tutorial: Includes comprehensive step by step instructions with plenty of photos.
