My daughter’s favourite pants!

Made some pants for my fast growing 2-year-old. Made these in size 3 using cotton corduroy and she loves them. It was a quick and easy sew. I like it’s loose fitting. Will make another pair in jersey and some shorts for upcoming summer time.

Dakar Pants

Chic, loose fitting pants that can be sewn with both woven and knit fabrics. So far I've made a woven version only - size 10. My daughter is actually more a size 12, which is probably why the fit is a little snug on her. I'm sure a knit version would be more loose fitting. I omitted the elastic casing at the bottom of the legs - so we could roll the legs instead.
Great basic pants - with great instructions. And pockets. Pockets are always a plus! This will definetely be one of my go-to patterns.
