Sew Liberated: Chanterelle Pants & Shorts

A paper sewing pattern by Sew Liberated.

The Chanterelle Pants and Shorts are casual bottoms that can be dressed up in bright colors and fancy fabrics, dressed down in lightweight denim, or made easy and cozy in soft fabrics. They feature an elastic waist, cute pockets and three different leg types: wide leg, barrel leg and shorts.

View A is a dramatically wide-leg, full-length pant with an elastic waist, inset front pockets, and back patch pockets. View A has more design ease than Views B and C.

View B is an easy-fitting pull-on pant with an elastic waist, patch pockets on the front and back, and a playful cropped leg silhouette shaped with a pleat and a cuff at the ankle.

View C is a pair of shorts with the same ease, waistband, and patch pockets as View B, and a 3″ – 4″ (7.5 – 10cm) inseam.

Suitable for advanced beginners. 

Fabrics: Light- to medium-weight woven fabric without stretch. Softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics will emphasize the leg shaping. Some wonderful choices are chambray, viscose-linen slub, sandwashed linen or cotton, ikat, Brussels washer linen, light twill (like Ventana twill), or Essex cotton-linen blend.

Recommended fabrics are opaque, and range in weight from 4.8 oz to 7.9 oz (155 – 268 GSM).

Choose between size ranges UK 4-28 (US 0-24) and UK 26-38 (US 22-34) at checkout.
