I love my Pylos LiKnit palazzo pants<\/a> made with my adaptation of the Sinclair Cleo pattern<\/a>, but they are more of a summer weight and not so good for our chilly Fall weather. So I made a new pair in black Surge’s stretch velour corduroy<\/a> last week. This is a somewhat slinky corduroy, very soft and a medium weight and horizontal wales. It makes for a super comfy pair of Fall pants (with pockets, of course!), perfect to wear with a chunky sweater. When it gets colder I’ll probably wear tights or leggings under them. Wide-leg pants are very comfortable and cool in the summer because they let the air flow, but that’s less desirable for cold-weather wear and thus may require layering. But either way, these pants are comfy like my pajamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sewed the pants using the same adaptations of the Cleo pattern I used previously, and lined the waistband with Surge\u2019s black quad performance jersey knit<\/a>. To keep the tops of the pockets from sagging I sewed a strip of clear elastic into the seam allowance of the diagonal seam at the top of the pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also wearing a Sinclair Bondi shirt here I sewed last year and never got around to photographing. This is a grey cotton-lycra fabric. I tried a binding rather than a band on the neck for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
