Closet Core Pietra Shorts & Pants Sewing Pattern
The Pietra Shorts & Pants sewing pattern from Closet Core, part of their Rome Collection, blends a flat-front, high-waisted silhouette with the comfort of an elastic back waistband, creating a flattering and versatile design. These sewing patterns for high-waisted trousers feature slanted hip pockets, a hidden waist stay for added structure, and elongating panels that give a streamlined, stylish look you can wear all day.
Choose between four different leg styles to suit your preferences: View A offers a wide-leg pant pattern in either a floor-skimming or cropped length, View B gives a more slim, tapered leg design, and View C is a pair of gently flared shorts for a more casual, summery feel. The Pietra pattern is perfect for sewists looking to create comfortable, flattering trousers with a stylish, modern fit.
Pietra's Features:
• High-waisted silhouette with a flat front and elastic back waistband for comfort and style
• Slanted hip pockets for a sleek and functional design
• Hidden waist stay for added structure and support
• Lengthening front panels that create a flattering, streamlined fit
• Four leg style options to choose from

Fabric recommendations: This pattern is super versatile and can be made in a range of fabrics depending on the look you're going for. For a more structured, defined shape, we recommend using linen, chambray, or a lightweight denim or twill, these will give you that crisp finish without too much volume around the elastic waist. If you're after a swishy, elegant vibe, rayon challis, tencel, or even silk will give your Pietra pants and shorts that gorgeous flowy feel.
