Paradise Patterns - PDF Sewing Pattern - Protea Pants

Create your own pair of modern wide-leg trousers with the Paradise Patterns Protea Pants PDF sewing pattern. Designed with a high waist, sweeping full-length legs and a curved waistband, these trousers have a relaxed fit through the hips and thighs, with two front options to suit your style.

View A features front pleats that create extra volume through the legs, while View B has a clean, flat front without pleats. Both versions have a zip fly, in-seam side pockets that connect to the centre front, belt loops and a fitted waist with plenty of room through the hips and thighs. You can also add optional topstitching for a more defined finish.

The pattern includes two waistband construction methods. Choose the topstitched waistband for light to medium-weight fabrics, or the clean-finish method for medium to heavyweight fabrics and a more traditional trouser finish. You'll also learn how to make an easy zipper fly and use a special technique to keep the front pleats neatly folded.

Fabric choice will change the look and feel of your finished trousers. Try a drapey viscose or Tencel twill for fluid movement, linen or a cotton-linen blend for relaxed everyday trousers, or corduroy, denim and wool for a more substantial pair. Choose a fabric with good drape that won't stretch or grow during construction or wear.
