Sewing Easy Casual Pants

My favorite go to pants whether it’s summer, fall or winter is this Simplicity Pattern 7229 for a pair of quick and easy, casual pants.  I have used this pattern to sew many pants in linen, denim and wool, lined and unlined, with and without pockets.  I love finding a pattern for sewing easy casual pants that can be used in so many fabric types.  Great pants for me.  Although this Simplicity pattern 7229 is out of print, I found that the New Look pattern 6399 is a very good alternative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I recently found another easy casual pants pattern that I think I’ll be using more often.  This Vogue Pattern 1517 looks a little intimidating just looking at the jacket, but the pants are really easy peasy.  Of course, I made a few changes to accomodate my preferences almost to the point where it doesn’t look like the pattern.  I love the smooth narrow look, just not the skinny legs, so I added length and width to the bottom for a straighter leg.

Again, the benefit of sewing your own clothes is that you can change a pattern to meet your needs whenever or however you choose.  I tend to keep my clothes longer than most, plus have learned what looks good on me.  Additionally, I look for patterns that flatter my body shape.  The Figure-Flattery Guide that Vogue provides on each of it’s patterns make it easy to decide.
