Rika Pants Pattern
One pants pattern, two looks! The Rika Pants are a timeless and versatile design that can feel like tailored trousers or utilitarian workwear depending on your choice of details. Featuring a high rise sitting just below the natural waist, a three-piece waistband, angled front pockets, a fly front zipper, and a straight leg, Rika has you covered coming and going.
- View A is cropped and tailored with deep hem cuffs, a tabbed waistband, angled belt loops, and rounded back pockets with flaps.
- View B is full-length and utilitarian with a classic waistband, wide belt loops, and carpenter-style pockets in the back.
This was my first real swing at making a pair of pants, and I can't recommend them enough. The pattern was clearly-written and well illustrated, and a lot of attention was given to making all the details just right. Though I'll fine-tune the size next time I make these, I love the way my first attempt fits with only minor pattern alterations. I'll definitely be trying more pants patterns from Closet Core!
Beautiful pattern with unique pocket design! And as all core pattern patterns, the instructions are beautifully written out and so simple to follow!
I saw the Denim 9.5 oz non extensible Eco Finish - Sable and really wanted to make something with this fabric.
I finally chose the Rika pant pattern and follow the Sew Your Dream Jean class.
It was easy and the result is perfeect.
Great experience !
Love this pattern - the style, sizing, instructions. Perfection! Oh Canada!
Very good pattern, nice fit, which gives a very flattering figure. Very happy with the result. My cousin, a former carpenter, told me right away they looked like "Compagnons' pants", the Compagnons here in France being a guild of highly skilled craftsmen with a lot of traditions (the ones who relbuilt Notre-Dame), so quite a compliment! The style is really authentic. Well done!
