Buy the Sepia Pants and Shorts sewing pattern from Closet Core Patterns. Sepia has a clever design that blends style and comfort. Functional double pockets in the front are sewn to create a floating effect, with additional topstitched pockets in the back. A traditional elastic waistband is elevated with a fluted paperbag edge and optional drawstring. View A is a barrel leg pant ending at the ankle, shaped with darts at the knee and hem. View B is a wide leg, full length pant. View C is a short ending at mid-thigh.
