Learn how to make stylish pants for your little girl with the prettiest ruffles in this DIY sewing tutorial. Make it with one, two, or three layers of ruffles to dress her up for summer.
Your little sweetheart will love the comfort and versatility of this ruffle pants sewing pattern. The style and the fit of the pants would make it her favorite for the coming summer. You can add a coordinating top and headband for a complete look!
This sewing project on how to make the ruffle pants comes with the full pant template. The waist elastic and the absence of zippers or hooks makes it a quick and easy sew for my readers.
The layers of colorful ruffles lend plenty of sunny style to this ruffle pants sewing pattern. As comfortable as they are cute, they’re perfect for mixing and matching with my back- open top and my t-shirt patterns. But it can look best with my ruffled top pattern that is coming soon!

Aprroximate Finished Measurements
Table-1
I suggest you read the entire pattern once before starting to get a general idea.
All the fabrics used here are of 44/45 inches width.
The fabrics shown here are only for illustration purposes and as such may vary from the original.
All seam allowance is 3/8-inch unless otherwise specified.
Fabric Requirements:
*You may opt for one, two, or three layers of ruffles to suit your taste. Here I show you a sample with three layers of ruffles.
* Let’s name the ruffles one, two, and three, starting from the smallest for convenience.
*In the table below, I have given the requirements for the three ruffle layers separately. If you opt for the same fabric for the three layers, add up the requirements of all the three layers to get the total requirements.

Measurements:
*In the table below, “W” stands for the width of the fabric and “L” for the length.
Table-3:
Sewing:
Let’s put the pant pieces together.
Let’s move on to the ruffles.
Take the fabric strips required for the ruffles (Below, I have shown the third one). We first need to do the lower hem of the ruffle.
Repeat the same to get the remaining two ruffles. Let’s put the three ruffle pieces together.
Let’s gather the ruffle. We turn the upper thread tension of the machine to zero and stitch length to the longest to get a basting stitch.
Repeat the steps on the other ruffle pieces.
Let’s attach the ruffle layers to the pants. Turn the pants over to the right side and the ruffle layer over to the wrong side.
Repeat the steps with the other pant leg and the other set of ruffles.
Let’s do the elastic casing for the waist. * The two pictures below are for illustration purposes.

Has anyone else made this pants. I noticed that the pants pattern only has one crotch line and yet in the pictures it shows a line for each age. Any suggestions on how I can measure and draw them in?
