Untitled Thoughts Chandler Fitted Back Expansion

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!
