Free Elasticized Pants Pattern for Kids
Are you looking for something to pair with my girl’s ruffle top, my reversible top, or my 15-minute top made from a rectangle? Here’s something sweet, stylish, and easy to sew for you: elasticized pants with a comfy fit.

The pattern has no zipper or buttons and has an elastic waist. The design has elastic along the hemline too!

These pants are so easy that if you’ve made my baby bloomers pattern, you can easily level up to this pattern. The steps are almost similar and super simple!


The pattern comes in sizes from 12 months to 5 years and is totally free!

I would love this pattern!
Thank youdebbie
Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
I apologize but I must be doing something wrong. I filled out the above form to subscribe- but do not know how to download your darling pattern. i checked my email box and there was no download link. I also looked for a link after hitting the subscribe button- but there is nowhere shown to download the pattern. can you please point me in the correct direction? thank you
I checked the download form. It is working perfectly fine. Please make sure you click on the subscribe button after entering your emailaddress to download the templates.
I assembled the 12 month pattern in the order as indicated (6+7+8+9) and the crotch is huge& deep and the legs are short. What am I doing wrong?
The crotch can look huge for a 12 month old but you need to fold it by 3/8 inch and then by 1- inch to make the waist elastic casing. That would make it look and fit perfect!
Can’t get it either. It keeps going back to sewing instructions 😭
I would love this pattern but everytime I try to download it downloads the shirt instead.
I am sorry, there was an error. I have rectified it. You may try downloading it now.
Where is the free Pattern please?
I am only getting the template for the kids top
I have following very careful all the instructions, including the ones in comments
I am sorry, there was a minor error with the link. I have rectified it. You may try downloading it.
The inseam doesn’t line up. Any idea as to what have I done wrong?
You might not have kept the seam allowance uniform. Check the waist elastic fold and the hem folds for the two legs for any disparity. Kindly check these so that you get the inseam aligned.
I feel like these directions aren’t very clear… how does it go from one piece to all of a sudden having two legs?
Both the leg pieces are joined in the first step and I have mentioned “repeat on the other leg” wherever necessary.
Thank you so so much! I love this pants.they are the perfect pants for Darwin weather. My toddler rocks them everywhere! Real good to repair her legs for mozzies as well!
These slacks went together so quickly. Made a pair for my grandson for Christmas. He will have a pair just like his dad. Thank you
How would you size this up for an adult? Mom-sized, perhaps? 🙂 This is exactly the type of pants I would wear around the house or for sleeping.
When you cut out the fabric, do you fold the fabric right sides together or wrong sides together?
You may fold it either way to get two pieces that look like mirror images.
I don’t know where to download the free pattern?
Love the pattern. I used French seams to clean up edges and I made a double sided pair they was flannel lined
So glad you liked the pattern! A flannel-lined version sounds super cozy!
So excited to find this pattern! Thank you!
