Sew Liberated Sewing Pattern – Arenite Pants

I was excited to try out the Arenite Pants pattern from Sew Liberated. And I have to say, I was not disappointed! The pants turned out exactly as described – deep-pocketed, slouchy, and incredibly versatile. I was also impressed by the level of detail in the instructions. The pattern included instructions for French seams, flat-felled seams, and a non-twist elastic waistband, making the final product feel like a well-crafted, made-to-last item.

I appreciated that the pattern was suitable for advanced beginners, as I am still learning the ins and outs of sewing pants. The fit was very forgiving, and I was able to get a great result even with my limited experience. I also appreciated the three leg finishing options – knit cuff, elasticated woven cuff, or a dressier hem – as it allowed me to customize the pants to my own taste.

The suggested fabric, raw silk noil or summery lyocell, made for a luxurious and comfortable pair of pants. I loved the end result and I receive many compliments every time I wear them. I would definitely recommend this pattern to anyone looking to add a new versatile and cozy item to their wardrobe.
