Sew House Seven Oxbow Pants

Buy the Oxbow Pants sewing pattern from Sew House Seven. The Oxbow Pants are a cool departure from a traditional pair of jeans. They were designed for rigid, non-stretch 10-13 oz. denim, but you can also sew them up in twill, corduroy or canvas for a completely different look. There are two versions to choose from, both featuring a high rise, curved waistband, front and back patch pockets, back darts, zipper fly and large button closure.

Version A is fitted through the waist, hips and upper thighs. They are narrower at the knees than Version B. The pants are cropped with a very slight flare and deep hem. The waistband features an extended tab and button closure.

Version B is fitted through the waist and hips with full length straight, semi-wide legs. The waistband is flush at the centre front with a button closure.
