Japanese Sewing Week – Wide Leg Pants

It’s nearing the end of the first official Japanese Sewing Week and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.  Sara from Made by Sara is hosting and there’s a great giveaway at the end so you should all join in the fun!


I have a couple of Japanese pattern books and I love the style.  The instructions are usually minimalist illustrations, but that works really well with my brain.  I decided to sew a quick pair of the Wide Leg Pants (Pattern O) from Happy Homemade: Sew Chic Kids (*affiliate link) which is one of the Tuttle Publishing books that has been translated into english.  But if you’re afraid of trying out a Japanese pattern without knowing the language, you could always use the new Google Translate app.  It’s pretty amazing and I can’t believe how well it worked with the pattern I used a couple of weeks ago for this post here.

Bean won’t stop growing (I asked) so she is once again in dire need of pants.  I thought these wide leg pants would be a great addition to her fall heading into winter wardrobe.  They sew up really quickly and have a comfy fit.  The wide legs make them feel a little pajama-ish, but that’s part of what I like about them.

The back has two cute pockets that make me love the style even more.  I used some of the Loominous by Anna Maria Horner fabric I’ve been hoarding and Bean was really excited about her sparkly purple pants.  I bought the fabric from Imagine Gnats (*affiliate link) and as of the moment I’m posting this it’s on sale!

Paired with a long sleeved Paneled Sunsuit tank-turned-tunic, Bean refused to take this outfit off.  She looked so cozy all day and yet still stylish.  I think the wide leg would look great with a top that’s a little more snug or with a cardi too.

I’ll post more about this reversible top next week in preparation for the big Black Friday sale I’ll be having.  Keep an eye out for the coupon code and if you join the DbCA Facebook group there will be a little something extra for you as well.  But for now check out the rest of this amazing tour:

Good morning! It's time to test the newest patter Good morning!  It's time to test the newest pattern 😍😍
The Bacca Bootcuts are a traditional bootcut jean shape, with a low cut look yet a wide waistband to make them more of a mid rise. 
Testing will begin on Saturday the 3rd and end on Wednesday the 14th, with the fit muslin due by Wednesday the 7th.  I'll need everyone to muslin the view A pants length to be sure the legs are going to fit accurately, but your final can be either view. 
I'm excited to get started! 😘  Sign up here or in the link in profile:
https://forms.gle/aEePLSHDdR9u8Xg76

You'll need the following:
a bottom-weight fabric with at least 10%-20% 2-way horizontal stretch (even for the muslin)
2" elastic - enough to stretch across just the back waistband (this keeps everything snug in place and avoids any "plumber crack" situation 😁)
short zipper - I'll have the exact lengths, but even the largest size uses no longer than 5". I recommend a ykk #3 or #4 jeans zipper (#5 just looks too big with the kids sizes), but any zipper will work.  I'll also have info for shortening a longer zip. 
2 15mm metal snaps or jeans buttons.  The snaps look great and are easier than making two buttonholes, but with the wide waistband 2 smaller snaps/buttons works better than one regular sized one.

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
