Marigold Pants

A Wide-Leg Silhouette That Grows With You

Looking for a wide-leg pant that actually fits the way you want it to, no matter what fabric is in your stash? The Marigold Pants come with two full construction paths built into a single pattern: a classic invisible zipper for woven fabrics, or a simple stabilized elastic waist for two-way stretch. Same silhouette, same flattering pintuck detail, your choice of technique.

This isn't a beginner pattern that outgrows you after one make — it's designed to fit into your sewing life exactly as it is right now, whatever fabric you happen to reach for.

What You'll Get in This Digital Pattern

• Comprehensive instruction booklet with step-by-step illustrations covering both construction options
• Private video tutorial walking you through every step, zipper and stretch versions included
• 15 inclusive sizes (A to O) covering XXS to 5XL — waist 23¾" to 51¼", hips 33" to 60⅝"
• Bilingual instructions in English and Spanish for accessible learning
• Multiple printing formats: A4/Letter for home printing, A0 for copy shops, or projector-friendly option (no printing needed!)
• Professional pattern pieces with clear markings, cutting layout, and assembly guide
• Instant digital download — start sewing within minutes of purchase

Design Features That Make These Pants Special

The Marigold Pants sit just below your natural waistline, with soft pintucks at the front for shape without bulk, and a clean interior facing finish. The wide leg falls with real movement in the right fabric, not stiff or boxy, and the flat-front silhouette keeps the focus on the fabric's drape.

Choose your construction based on what's already in your stash: a non-stretch woven gets a classic invisible zipper at the side seam, while a two-way stretch fabric skips the zipper entirely in favor of a narrow stabilizing elastic sewn into the waist seam, so the fit holds its shape wear after wear.

Perfect For

• Confident beginners ready to try their first invisible zipper, with full support along the way
• Sewists who prefer stretch fabrics and want a zipper-free option that still fits like a real garment
• Building a versatile wide-leg pant for everyday wear, dressed up or down
• Sewists who want one pattern that works no matter which fabric they end up choosing
• Sustainable fashion lovers creating quality wardrobe staples
• Gift sewing — a genuinely flattering piece in any size

Fabric Recommendations & Requirements

For a non-stretch fabric (zipper construction): medium-weight linen (prewashed for softness), rayon or Tencel twill, viscose crepe, or lightweight cotton sateen — anything with good drape so the wide leg falls softly.

For a two-way stretch fabric (elastic waist construction): ponte knit, stretch crepe, scuba knit, or stretch charmeuse/satin.

Skill-Building Techniques You'll Master

The Marigold Pants are a confident-beginner project — if you've sewn a beginner TBB pattern before, you're ready for this one. You'll learn:

• Sewing precise pintucks for shape and structure
• Installing a professional invisible zipper (or stabilizing a stretch seam with elastic, your choice)
• Attaching a clean interior waist facing
• Adjusting length along the pattern's lengthen/shorten line to fit your height

Our illustrated instructions and private video tutorial include helpful tips and guidance to ensure your success every step of the way.
