Buy the Chandler Fitted Back Expansion sewing pattern from Untitled Thoughts. This pattern expansion transforms the original elastic back Chandler Trousers into a fitted back pair with a fly front zip! It’s perfect if you love the look of Chandler but want a more traditional fit to the waist, or if you are looking to up your pant game and tackle something a bit more challenging!

This expansion includes new back pant, front and back waistband, and back pocket bag pattern pieces. It also includes a fly extension and a full set of illustrated instructions – everything you need to create your new pants!

Note: This is not a complete pattern. You must already own the original Chandler Trousers and Shorts pattern to use this expansion pack. If you have not yet purchased the original pattern, you can do so here.
