I really like my khaki PyLos LiKnit<\/a> pants from the Pattern Emporium Making Moves Subtle Barrel Leg Pants<\/a> pattern, but I feel they have a bit too much fabric gathered around the waist. So this time I sized down one size to an AU8. I also tweaked the pocket opening again to keep things from falling out of my pocket. I also ended up cutting an inch off the bottom hem of the short length and hemming it one inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used 2 yards black Luxor heavy linen slub<\/a> from Surge Fabrics. This fabric is 210gsm 80%rayon\/20%linen with a soft feel and lovely drape. It washes well with minimal need for ironing. I added two rows of top stitching on the back and side seams, which is hard to see in the photos, but it is a nice finishing touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pants are quite comfy and easy to wear, and a nice change from my usual wide-leg pants (stay tuned for more of those coming soon). I’ve been experimenting with linen blends and previously made a pair of Sinclair Gigi pants<\/a> from Robert Kaufman Brussels Washer Yarn Dyed Linen<\/a>, which is 45%rayon\/55%linen. The Luxor linen blend is much softer and less wrinkly. I plan to get more of the Luxor in other colors for tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pants modelled here with a Pattern Emporium Be Mine top with Spill the Tea flared sleeves in cobolt airflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
