This is a digital PDF sewing pattern, not a physical product.
The Elastic Waist Tapioca Trousers feature a high waist, front pleats, and hidden inseam pockets. They’re designed to be comfortable, easy going, and have generous ease throughout the hips and crotch. If you're unfamiliar with the term ease, you can think of it like the space between your body and the garment.
When designing these trousers, Jessi created a quick and simple garment that makes a big impact in your closet. It’s a staple that’s easy to style and feels like secret pajamas - our favorite kind of pants!
This is a BEGINNER FRIENDLY PDF sewing pattern that is designed to help beginner sewists learn skills to become an intermediate sewist. You will learn how to sew an inseam pocket, how to sew a French seam, how to sew pleats, and how to sew an elastic waistband.
