Three Liter Wide Leg Pants PDF Sewing Pattern
Three Liter Wide Leg Pants
Wide leg pants are a versatile and stylish clothing item that is currently on-trend. These pants have a rich history, harkening back to the 70s hippie era and the wide leg jnco pants popular in the 90s. Today, they are making a strong comeback in the fashion scene. One of the great things about wide leg pants is that they can be made in a variety of fabrics, from wild prints to solid colors, and from lightweight linen to heavy denim. This versatility allows you to experiment with different looks and styles, making them a fun and exciting pattern to work with.
These pants have all of the classic details like front curved pockets with a coin pocket, front fly zipper, belt loops and back pockets.
I recommend starting with sewing up a sample pair of pants to test the pattern and make any necessary alterations before working on your final garment. This will give you the opportunity to fine-tune the design and make the wide leg pants truly your own.I know you are going to have so much fun creating these. I can't wait to see what you sew up.
Pattern sizing
This pattern comes in sizes 0-38 and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that.
Printing the pattern
When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.
Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.
This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.
