2. Lena Lounge Pants
It’s no secret. I love lounging. And pants. And I especially love lounge pants. It’s getting to be Christmas season, which means I need pants that will grow-with-me….so I thought it was time for the Lena Lounge Pants to make their debut. I’ve worn them out in public several times already and no one has openly wondered if I’m wearing pajamas.
Winning.
The Lena Lounge Pants feature:
- Sizing based on our women’s size chart in XXS-5XL (you can see this in the last image).
- 3 rise options: High, Mid, and Low (which is great for maternity).

- 5 length options – 4″, 7″, 11″ Bermuda, capri, or pants.
- Wide leg.
- PDF sewing pattern with a separate “live” tutorial featuring links to help you navigate.
What makes these different than our other lounge pants? Well, the Lena Lounge Pants have gathering at the waist so they are semi-fitted through the hips but then drape into a beautiful wide leg. This makes them super flowy and super fun.

8. Women’s Mia Shorts and Pants
The Mia Shorts and Pants are the gateway pants…
That sounds a little wrong, but what I mean is that Mia is perfect for everyone who thinks they don’t wear woven fabric. Mia will make you realize that woven pants can be COMFORTABLE. They can be classy. Even though Mia has an elastic waistband and a wide leg, that doesn’t mean you’ll look sloppy.
The Mia Shorts and Pants are the perfect transition piece for fall and spring. With a wide leg and pull on waist, these are easy to fit and easy to sew! You’ll be exploring ALL the apparel woven fabric in no time!
What is an apparel woven? Glad you asked! These fabrics typically come in 56″ wide and are sold at popular online places such as Mood Fabrics and Fabric.com. Stores such as JoAnn and Hobby Lobby have some too! I got a really nice chambray from HL and the drape is beautiful! The Mia Shorts and Pants will work with flannel and quilting cotton too, but the drape will be very different. (Drape is how it hangs on the body.) Quilting cotton will be a lot stiffer and an apparel woven will look flowy.
The Mia Shorts and Pants include:
- Sizes 0-30 based on our contoured size chart (see in last image)
- Multiple inseam lengths for shorts, capri, and long pants cut lines
- Patch front and back pockets
- Mid-rise
- Optional drawstring
- Comprehensive fitting directions at end of tutorial
