Meet your new, "go to" pants pattern!   

The Pudding Pants are going to be your kids new favorite pants. An easy sewing project with some strikingly cool looks, that couldn't be comfier! Get ready to fall in love with all the different looks you can make: the color-blocked version has built-in pockets; the solid version is just quick and simple. Love the pockets but don't want to do two different fabrics? You can achieve a "non color-blocked" look by sewing the contrast version with the same fabrics! There are also three different hem options: regular hem, contrast ankle cuff, or rolled cuff plus optional pin-tucking (I am a huge fan of making them with the pin-tucks!) Time to pull out your best knits from your stash and start making some Pudding Pants!

variations include:

・leg finishes include: contrast cuff, standard hem, or rolled cuff hem.
・optional Center Front pin-tucking
・solid color or color-blocked
・pockets (for color-blocked option only

The measurements listed below are for the child; they are not reflective of the finished garment.

fabric recommendations 

• MAIN FABRICS: Light to medium weight knit fabric with at least 40% stretch recovery: cotton or cotton blend jersey, knit interlock, sweater knit (see notes above).

• CONTRAST FABRICS: Ribbing, jersey with at least 75% stretch recovery. If you are using a knit fabric with less stretch recovery, add about 1/2"-3/4" (1-2cm) to the pattern piece. Do not use fabric with less than 30% stretch recovery.

SOME TECHNIQUES MAY INCLUDE (but are not exclusive to): sewing with knit fabric (I've made a guide for you if it's your first time sewing with knits 😊), sewing color-blocked pieces, sewing pockets, pin-tucking, sewing cuffs, constructing an adjustable, elasticized waistband, and making ties.

File size: 14MB zipped 

All of my patterns are packaged and sent in a zipped (compressed) folder which contains separate files for the following:

• TWO PDF Pattern files: 1.) for the "contrast version with pockets" AND 2.) the "solid, no contrast version (no pocket)"

• the "READ FIRST" instructions which are the detailed instructions of the pattern

• a black and white version of just the sewing tutorial for those who like to print out instructions

• an overview image of each the "contrast version with pockets" AND the "solid, no contrast version (no pocket)" to closely see how the pattern pages look when all put together (for reference purposes)

Some patterns also include a separate file for the face template patterns as well as an overview image of the templates.

This allows you to access only the information you require at any given step of the process without having a massive file open. 

To access the pattern after you receive them, right-click on the zipped folder icon and instead of clicking "open", click "extract all" and then chose the folder you would like the files to be saved.
