Nico Pants, Shorts and Capri PDF Sewing Pattern

Regular price $28.00 CAD

Introducing the Nico Pants, Shorts, and Capris! All bundled into one very versatile sewing pattern!

The original inspiration for the Nico Pants came from watching my sister Nicole navigate endometriosis, and how difficult it can be to find clothing that feels good when her body fluctuates and when pain and discomfort are unpredictable. I wanted to create something that offered her comfort, flexibility, and gentleness.

The Nico styles feature a waistband with elastic at the sides and double drawstrings that tie at the front, making it easy to adjust throughout the day (and add a playful touch!). The flat waistband at the front and the gently elasticized sides allow the body to grow with minimal pressure on the stomach and lower back, and ease in with drawstrings when needed.

The pants have an easeful fit overall with a wide straight leg and pin-tucked seams down the front and back legs.

The Nico Pant is offered in sizes XS-6XL, and comes in 4 additional cropped lengths with a slight flare at the hem- 2 shorts and 2 capri lengths

A straight stitch machine and serger are used to make this style, though an alternate seam finish can be easily adapted.

The recommended sewing level for this pattern is Intermediate.

After 2.5 years of sewing this style myself and seeing it worn and loved by so many customers, I’m so excited to be able to share the Nico Pants as a sewing pattern! I hope you enjoy sewing it as much as I do!

The Nico Pant comes in sizes XS-6XL (up to a 152cm (60") hip)

All models pictured have provided their measurements for your reference in the Fit and Fabric Library.

The Nico Pants work with a variety of light to mid-weight fabrics depending on your desired outcome. Some fabric types I recommend are: lightweight wool/ wool blend suiting, cotton, and linen. 

This design also works great for 2-tone pants and/or contrasting drawstrings! 

The Nico Pant requires 2.2m - 4.6m depending on the size and fabric width chosen.
