Pietra Pants and Shorts Sewing Pattern – Closet Core Patterns
Part of Closet Core Patterns’ Rome Collection, the Pietra Pants and Shorts combine the best of both worlds: a flattering flat-front, high-waisted silhouette paired with the comfort of an elasticated back waistband. Designed for both style and ease, these trousers feature lengthening front panels, slanted hip pockets, and a hidden waist stay that keeps everything neatly in place - so comfortable you’ll never want to take them off.
Choose from four stylish leg options to suit your look:
– View A: Wide leg, floor-length or cropped
– View B: Slim and tapered leg
– View C: Gently flared shorts
Suggested Fabrics:
This pattern works beautifully with a range of woven fabrics depending on the effect you want to achieve.
– For a structured, tailored look: use linen, chambray, lightweight denim, or twill (avoid heavy fabrics that may add bulk at the elastic waist).
– For a softer, fluid drape: choose rayon challis, tencel, or silk.
