Paradise Patterns Protea Pants Sewing Pattern PDF

The Paradise Patterns Protea Pant is a modern trouser with chic front pleats, sweeping pant legs, and a curved waistband. It offers two ways of sewing the waistband. The first way is better for light-to midweight fabrics, and if you like the look of topstitching. The second method is for mid-to heavyweight fabrics, or if you like a clean, more traditional trouser waistband.

View A has pleats in front, View B has a flat front. This pattern will teach you some fun techniques including:

  • An easy zipper fly
  • Your choice of top-stitched or clean-finish waistband
  • A special technique to keep the pleats folded
  • In-seam pockets

A physical print out of the instruction booklet will NOT be included. You can view the instruction booklet on your device at home, print it out at home, or add the 'printed pattern instructions' product (see link below) to your order and we will print it for you.

Fabric

These trousers will have a completely different look depending on the fabric you choose, but I do recommend something with a good drape and also something that doesn’t grow as you work with it or wear it. A light, drapey fabric will look lovely and flowy. A mid-weight cotton/linen will look so relaxed and cool. Or you can choose a mid-to heavyweight for a chic winter pant. You won’t need pocket lining fabric or pocket facing if using lightweight fabric, in that case you can use your main fabric. (Rayon/Tencel/Lyocell twill, challis or crepe, Linen, Linen blend, Cotton, light to heavy Wool, Corduroy, Denim, Silk, Satin)
