Linen Pants Sewing Pattern
Linen pants are the perfect bridge into late summer style. Â They are casual and keep you cool but still cover up more skin than shorts. Â I have always loved the casual, lived-in look of linen pants but often find that the ones you buy ready to wear are made out of low quality fabrics and get extremely wrinkly… so I decided to make my own!
I ordered a sample of this sage green linen and instantly had a vision for the pants I wanted to make. Â The thing that makes this linen special is that it is actually 45% rayon. Â This gives it a bit of added softness and enhances its drape. Â I have also been obsessed with tie-waists this season so I wanted to bring that into this pair as well.
The fabric that I used is linked [ here ]. Â I ordered 2 yards but barely had enough (so maybe order 2.5-3+ yards depending on sizing. Â You will also need a bit of lightweight interfacing for the waistband [ linked here ], 2″ soft waistband elastic [ linked here ] and a scrap piece of muslin for the pocket lining and waistband lining.

A few hints when sewing these: Â be sure to press and pin everything! Â The beautiful drape of this fabric also shows any and all flaws so work carefully. Â Also note that there is actually no right and wrong-sides to this fabric so pay close attention that you do not end up with two left legs, two right pockets, etc.
I hope you enjoy these wonderful pants! Â Let me know if you have any questions.
With Love, Kaitlin
Hi Kaitlin, looking forward to sewing these pants. They look so comphy. Could you tell me, when I am working out measurement D on the cutting pattern, what does the asterix mean? Do I times B by 1.33 or add 1.33 inches? Do I measure it by B with or without the extra inch added?
Thank you for putting this selection together. I will certainly try those. It does look more like jersey than linen though đ
These pants look so comfy! And I looooove linen! I will make one for myself for sure! Thank you so much!
So nice! Thanks for sharing this pattern. I love linen and this is a nice simple pattern for a great cool summer night look. Thanks so much!

All I can download is the cutting diagram and the construction diagram. Does this mean I make my own pattern using my measurements? I cannot find a print out pattern that I tape together.
Thanks, these look like wonderful comfy pants.
Where can I find the actual pattern for these linen pants. They look great and I love linen.
Hi where can I find the pattern?
Love the look of these pants. A definite make until I completed downloads and no pattern pieces. So disappointing and definitely will not be attempting this.
Hi Judy! This is more of a tutorial to draft your own pattern. I am super passionate about making clothes that fit you perfectly, not following a one size fits all approach! That is one of the core beliefs and missions behind Originally Lovely. That being said, this pattern/tutorial is quite old and not necessarily representative of my recent work but I leave it up because many still find enjoyment and value in it. Hopefully you an find something out there that works for you, best of luck and happy sewing <3
