Paperboy Pants Sewing Pattern
Paperboy Pants PDF sewing pattern is designed to give the perfect illusion of a tailored trouser; the back elastic makes them super comfortable to wear. The trousers are high-waisted with single front pleats, slanted pockets, faux front fly, belt loops, back darts, elasticized back waistband, and cropped cuffed hem. The pants are pull-on like a pair of sweatpants.
You may want to make a Boxy Raglan Sweater to wear with your pants.
US 0-16 & EU 30-46.
