Baggy pants pattern with elastic cuffs and pockets

Three months into sewing and five pants later, I’ve finally perfected my comfy lounge pants pattern 😀

These pair of baggy pants have elastic cuffs and waistband, with a rise that allows me to stretch in them; it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. 🤭

Baggy pants pattern

Here’s the pattern you can directly draw onto your fabric with a ruler and fabric pen.

Making baggy pants

Using a ruler and a water-soluble pen (from Daiso), the pattern was drawn on to the fabric; freehand for curves.

These pair were made from dust coloured viscose slab washer fabric from Spotlight. Coming in 1.35m width, almost all of 2m was used to make these pair of pants. See my babylock settings.

Pockets

Pockets big enough to fit my smart phone were prepared and sewn on as posted in how to sew front pockets on pants:

Pants

To sew the pants together:

1. the legs were sewn into pipes;
2. one leg was turned out and inserted inside the other leg;
3. the crotch was sewn together; then
4. it was flipped back out to resemble a pair of pants.

See my post on how to make culottes for step-by-step pants making with photos:

Cuffs & Waistband

To finish it off, the waistband and cuffs were serged onto the pants. (See how to sew elastic casings for step-by-step turial.)

For both the waistband and the cuffs, I made elastic casing to fit two 6mm-wide elastic to give it more of a shirring effect.

The doggie test

Does Mr Fluffypants like our new pants?

Yeppo; this little dogge couldn’t resist resting on these pair of pants 🥰 Even when it moved onto the tiles, or on me.

I’ll be adding this to my personal pattern notebook and my serger setting notes:
