I have two pairs of my favourite drop-crotch linen knit loungepants. The pattern was made using the Anima pants and a drop-crotch online tutorial. One pair is from 2020 and the other was made a few months ago...and they both already have holes. (Linen knit is not the most durable, or possibly due to my crappy clothespins.) Clearly I need *more* linen loungepants! I was envisioning a double layer of coziness, and mentally riffled through my patterns trying to figure out which would be loungy enough (the Hudsons are too snug and low waisted.) I thought this pattern would be perfect and since it's meant for wovens I was guaranteed a good oversized fit - I used the same size (4) and pattern pieces as for my previous go at the Seaforth. The pockets though, don't come with a non-zip option. Also, the double layer business had to go, as this pattern takes...a meter of fabric...so I didn't have any to spare.
For a quick pocket fix I used the pattern piece from the Linen Loungers. I overlapped the two pockets and created a pocket opening to replace the zip, and added a binding. Otherwise, no changes to the original pattern. I did all the darts and back pockets as per the woven instructions. Very easy to make! So pleased to wear! And they match my new cropped linen Blomma top! (This Blomma top has been the summer win, so perfectly cropped and very fashionable.)
