The Closet Core Plateau Joggers PDF Sewing Pattern is a modern take on classic knit joggers, combining everyday comfort with thoughtful design details. With a flattering high-rise silhouette, unique wrap-around pockets and an elasticated waistband, Plateau is perfect for creating handmade loungewear that feels as good as it looks.
Designed for knit fabrics, this versatile pattern includes two views that can be customised to suit your style. View A features relaxed-fit joggers with your choice of fabric cuffs or gathered elastic hems, while View B offers comfortable shorts with a softly scalloped hem. Both styles can be finished with optional back pockets for added functionality.
Whether you’re sewing cosy weekend basics, stylish everyday separates or a handmade athleisure wardrobe, the Plateau Joggers are a comfortable and rewarding project. Choose soft French terry for relaxed joggers, ponte for a more structured look, or heavyweight jersey for an easy everyday pair.
Suitable for confident beginners, this pattern is a great introduction to sewing stretch fabrics and includes helpful options such as an optional drawstring waistband and different hem finishes, allowing you to create a pair of joggers or shorts that are completely your own.
As a digital sewing pattern, your files are available to download instantly after purchase. Layered A0, A4 and projector files make it easy to print only the size you need, whether you print at home, use a copy shop or sew with a projector.
