What You'll Learn

With this pattern, and thanks to the in-depth explanations in the instructions booklet, you will learn to master the following techniques:

  • applying fusible interfacing
  • gathering fabric
  • sewing a no-seam waistband
  • placing elastic in the waistband to create a smocked effect
  • sewing a rolled hem (ideally on a serger, but can be done on a regular machine)

The story behind this sewing pattern

This design has a very personal story behind it — it’s inspired by one of my most-loved "shuk" (=market) finds from when I lived in the Middle East. I loved how intricate and unique they were, and I wore those pants to pieces. I decided to recreate them so that their effortless, flowy spirit could live on through this pattern.

You will be able to sew 3 variations of this palazzo pants sewing pattern: 

  • View A (the original Casablanca Wide-Leg Pants) was designed with a flounce, which gives additional length and fluidity. 
  • View B makes for a much quicker and fabric-saving sew, as it can be assembled without the flounce.
  • View C is the short version: it has the fullness of a skirt, but the comfort and coverage of shorts.
