Stay Home & Sew: Pietra Pants

Featuring lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay, you’ll never want to take them off. Choose between four leg styles: a wide leg in floor-skimming or cropped length (View A), a slim and tapered leg (View B), or gently flared shorts (View C).

Fabric Options: 

• Oatmeal Diego Jacquard -  Sometimes, you just need a natural tan hue to tie your wardrobe together. This oatmeal fabric is calming just to look at and evokes both beach weddings and cold winter nights. Medium weight, this jacquard as a wood grain-like texture that is inverted on the opposite side, allowing you to play with the look of the fabric. And because it's a neutral, anything you make will seamlessly integrate into your handmade wardrobe!
• Navy Tencel Twill - This Tencel has brilliant drape which makes it ideal for creating a drapier version on these pants. Plus, it feels exactly like silk twill and has the same sheen and drape, without the dry clean only headache. Supple, with a gorgeous sheen, and in an ever-versatile navy, it will become a classic wardrobe staple.
