Create your own pair of versatile handmade trousers with the Closet Core Patterns Rika Pants PDF Sewing Pattern. This two-in-one trouser pattern combines timeless tailoring with utilitarian workwear details, allowing you to create a pair of pants that suits your personal style.

The Rika Pants feature a high-rise waist that sits just below the natural waist, a three-piece waistband, angled front pockets, fly-front zipper and a classic straight leg silhouette. Designed to be customised, you can choose between two distinct versions: a cropped tailored trouser or a full-length carpenter-inspired pant.

View A features a cropped length with deep hem cuffs, a tabbed waistband, angled belt loops and rounded back pockets with flaps for a polished finish. View B offers a practical workwear-inspired style with a full-length straight leg, classic waistband, wide belt loops and carpenter-style back pockets.

Designed for intermediate sewists, the Rika Pants are a rewarding trouser sewing project perfect for creating durable everyday trousers. Choose structured fabrics like denim, canvas or corduroy for a utility-inspired look, or opt for twill or gabardine for a more tailored finish.
