Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Track Pant-Youth is made for comfortable school days, playtime, and weekend lounging. With a loose fit through the hip and leg and a comfy elastic waist, kids can enjoy that sporty track pant look with plenty of room to move.
Sew them up in French terry or sweatshirt fabric for a cozy everyday pair, athletic nylon or poly tricot for a classic athletic look, or a fun stable knit that shows off their personality. Keep the side panels simple in the same fabric, choose a contrasting color, or add trim for sporty stripes.
With mid rise and high rise options, two shorts lengths, and full-length pants, you can sew for warm afternoons and cooler days with the same pattern. Optional front and back pockets give them a place for little treasures, and the optional waist drawstring adds another detail to make their pair their own.
Choose a plain hem, a side split, or the optional ankle drawstring to finish the look. Whether you’re sewing for a busy little one or a preteen with strong opinions about their clothes, the Track Pant-Youth makes it fun to mix fabrics, colors, and options.
Pattern options for the Track Pant- Youth include:
- Rises: Mid Rise / High Rise
- Lengths: 2-inch / 4-inch Shorts / Pants
- Side Panels: Main Fabric / Contrast Fabric / Optional Trim
- Pockets: Optional Front Inseam Pockets / Back Patch Pockets
- Hems: Plain / Side Split / Optional Ankle Drawstring
