Comfy!

Paperboy Pants is very comfortable fit. I made them in rayon ponte and I can see these becoming my favourite round-the-house pants. I really like the pull on aspect!
However, despite grading out from size 12 hips to size 16 waist as per the measurement chart, the fit was a bit disappointing for me. I think if I tried these again, I'd stick to size 12 throughout. I took and extra three inches out of the waistband elastic and wish I had the patience to disassemble and re-cut.

Classic and Comfy

Paperboy Pleated Trousers very fast became my favorite trousers. You know they are, when you have finished a pair and the minute you put them on, you know you have to roam your stash for fabric for more Paperboys. I have made three pairs so far and bought fabric for more.

Classic pleated silhouette made comfortable

The classic pleated look of this pant is made even better by the comfort of knit fabric. It looks so professional, you could wear it to interviews! I wore mine with a rayon buttondown top - the Savannah. A winning combo!

Classic Elegant Pant

A classic, this versatile pant can be used for work, an evening out and even just hanging out. It is super comfortable and the best is pull on.

Classy comfy pants

You look classy in your “trousers” feeling comfortable in you joggers. A quick easy sew for any sewist. Love mine and will be doing so many more.
