Stitch Upon A Time

Suitability

This pattern is suited for all stages of maternity and post-partum – trimesters 1, 2, 3, & 4

Description

You will feel like you’re wearing yoga pants when you wear the Goldilegs jeans. They can be made with a jegging knit or stretch denim fabric with at least 25% stretch. The regular waistband is made from the same material as the jeans, no buttons or zippers. They are stretchy enough to pull on and there’s elastic in the waistband to keep them up. Normally, when we hear “elastic”, we think, “ouch! binding!” but that’s not the case with these pants. The elastic is just tight enough to keep the pants up without feeling too tight. You’ll also find other options including: bootcut, skinny leg, front pockets, faux front pockets, regular back pockets, welt back pockets, faux fly, yoga waistband and maternity waistband. While that is certainly a lot of options, the instructions are still very easy to navigate.

Suggested Fabrics

This pattern is made to be fitted from the waist to about the knee. You will need a sturdy knit or stretch denim with at least 25% stretch. For the yoga or maternity waistband, I suggest a knit with at least 5% lycra/spandex for optimal stretch and recovery.

Notions

1 1/4 yards of 1/2″-3/4″ elastic (regular waistband option)
