Sew Liberated Chanterelle Pants & Shorts (Size 0-24)

Bring a little ease and a whole lot of fun to your wardrobe with the Chanterelle Pants and Shorts pattern. Featuring a comfortable and easy-to-fit elastic waist, wide leg, barrel leg, and shorts views, Chanterelle will fill any gap in your wardrobe and be an all-seasons piece for years to come.

The Chanterelle Pants and Shorts are the casual bottoms that can take a starring role in your wardrobe – dressed up in bright colours and fancy fabrics, casual in lightweight denim, or easy and cozy in soft fabrics.

View A is a dramatically wide-leg, full-length pant with an elastic waist, inset front pockets, and back patch pockets. View A has more design ease than Views B and C.

View B is an easy-fitting pull-on pant with an elastic waist, patch pockets on the front and back, and a playful cropped leg silhouette shaped with a pleat and a cuff at the ankle.

View C is a pair of shorts with the same ease, waistband, and patch pockets as View B, and a 3″ – 4″ (7.5 – 10cm) inseam.

SKILL LEVEL: The Chanterelle Pants and Shorts pattern is suitable for advanced beginner sewists.

SIZE: 0-24 (Waist 25″ Hip 33.5″ Thigh 18.75″ Body Rise 9.5″ – Waist 42.5″ Hip 51″ Thigh 27.75″ Body Rise 12.5″)

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: Light- to medium-weight woven fabric that has no stretch.
The drape or hand of the fabric will impact the look of the final garment. Softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics will emphasize the leg shaping. Some wonderful choices are chambray, viscose-linen slub, washed linen or cotton, ikat, corduroy or light denim.

•  Elastic, 2” wide.
  • Sizes 0–16: 1 yard (0.9 m)
  • Sizes 18-34: 1 1⁄2 yards (1.4 m)
