Paradise Patterns Protea Pants

Buy the Protea Pants sewing pattern from Paradise Patterns. This modern, high-waisted trouser features sweeping pant legs, in-seam pockets, an easy zipper fly and curved waistband. The pattern includes options for a top-stitched or clean-finish waistband. View A has chic front pleats, while View B has a flat front.

Suggested fabrics: Rayon twill or crepe, Tencel/lyocell twill, linen, linen blend, cotton, lightweight wool, midweight wool, heavy wool, corduroy, denim, silk, satin.

These trousers will have a completely different look depending on the fabric you choose. The designer recommends fabric with a good drape that doesn’t grow as you work with it or wear it. A light, drapey fabric will look lovely and flowy. A midweight cotton/linen will look relaxed and cool. Or you can choose a mid to heavyweight for a chic winter pant. If using a lightweight fabric, you can use your main fabric for the pocket lining.
