Patron du pantalon et du short Pietra

Used the Pietra Shorts Pattern for a recent cosplay project. Fabric pictured is a polyester twill. The pattern was super easy to put together and use. I didn't like how low the rise of the short started but it was easily altered into a mini skirt for the look I desired. Giving this pattern 5 stars for the wonderful functional pockets and for being apart of the cosplay I earned an award for. Definitely intend to use this pattern again!

Love these pants!! Made from a lovely linen and they are just great!! Directions were clear and they were coming out so well that I even hand stitched when it was a suggestion on the waistband. Can’t wait to make them again.

This was my first attempt at sewing pants and they turned out great. The wide leg view in particular has a very forgiving fit while still looking sophisticated thanks to the flat front. I can’t wait to make the shorts and tapered leg versions next. The pattern was easy to follow and I appreciated the instructions for grading between sizes.

So far I made view C (the shorts) and took a leap of faith with no toile. The fit, rise and crotch curve turned out perfect on me with no adjustment needed.
The instructions were really good and thorough which allowed me to end up with a garment that is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.
Style-wise, it looks really put together while still being pull-up pants, which I think is an achievement in looks vs. comfort.
After my experience with the shorts I’m really looking forward to making the other two views, which is a lot to say as I don’t usually feel like repeating a pattern, especially right after finishing a version of it.
The only thing I would HIGHLY suggest is to include the waist without elastic in the finished garment measurements, as it plays a big role in size selection for bigger-hips-smaller-waist people.

This is my second pair of pants and I wanted to post them to emphasize how much I love them!! I like adding belt loops to mine because I like wearing belts as an accessory, I also used bias tape on the pockets and hem which I think looks cute :)

For a beginner like me, this is the best pattern! I had made a few things before I jumped into making these pants and with this pattern I was able to build new skills. The instructions are EXTREMELY CLEAR, which was so incredibly helpful! I’ve found that of my limited sewing experience and experience with patterns, Closet Core really takes time to make sure the instructions are well done. I did struggle when it came to sewing the back flap over the elastic. This was the hardest part for me, however if you go slow it works! I made these pants out of thrifted curtains and they are my favorite and COMFIEST pants I own!

I fell in love! The pattern is easy enough so that everyone can make it, the instructions guide you through every step of the way using simple language and drawings and the result is top notch. I have already made up three pairs of the shorts and throughout the summer, they were the only bottoms I wore because they are so comfy and yet smart-looking if you use the appropriate fabric (and not denim like me). I have already prepared patterns for the next two views because come colder weather, I will definitelly sew up both the wide legs and the tapered pants as well. It looks great, it sews up great, and is sooo comfortable. What more can you want?

I love it when you find a pattern that fits you and you can make on repeat. I did have to remove some fabric from the front rise but otherwise find this fits me well. Love the front pocket construction. This is my 7th pair (5 shorts, 2 pants). For some reason, I like the shorts fit better than the pants fit. Since I made these in a light colored heavyweight linen (@fabrics-store 4C22 bleached) I lined them (never done this before - just winged it) and added rear pockets to avoid any see-through.

I’m most definitely not the average height and normally have to lengthen every pattern I work with but these pants have been perfect right off the printer! No need to alter anything. I made my first pair using a white cotton drill intended as a wearable muslin. They’re fantastic! Highly recommend this pattern.

I'm disappointed in this pattern overall. The finished UNELASTICATED waist measurement is not included. This is especially important if you're between sizes for hip/waist measurements. The elasticated measurement is included. There is also a drafting issue with the back crotch curve. When the unmodified pattern is sewn together, it creates a point. It is easy to fix by trimming the point when you sew the back to the front legs, but I expected better from a professionally drafted pattern. If you don't trim it and use the pattern as drafted, it creates a "stabby crotch"/little pyramid of fabric in the crotch where the back and front legs meet. I would not use a Closet Core pants pattern again because I have heard reports from others that it shows up in the Morgan Jeans as well. Attached photo shows this point. This is on an unmodified version of the pattern and it was sewn exactly as instructed.

I’ve made the wide leg shorts and the culottes. Both are awesome. Being short and short waisted, I made very small changes. Once you line up the pieces, which are easy following the excellent directions, they magically come together perfectly.
I think I need a third pair. Thinking wide leg trousers for autumn.

First attempt at the slim leg pants and they came out perfect. Fitting is spot on and the instructions were very clear!! Will be making a few more!!

I had only made one pair of pants prior to purchasing the Pietra pattern. I need to grade between sizes but this was easy to do and what I thought would be an intricate make was actually very easy as the instructions are so well written. The final fit was perfect for me, I was so impressed I immediately made a second pair and I think this will be my ‘go to’ pattern for future pants.

I am now the proud maker, owner and wearer of 4 pairs of Pietra Pants. What a clever pattern! The pockets are a treat. Thank you.

I sewed these up in a cotton/linen blend from merchant and mills and they are the perfect pant for warmer weather. Love the elastic waist in the back. CC patterns have always been true to size for me and the instructions are great! And of course - amazing pockets!

I love these shorts! They look so smart
I made a toile out of cotton I had in my stash & where them all the time. I still have to make the ‘real’ pair :)

I chanched the pattern and made an skirt. I love this pattern and I'll made the pants.

I adore this pattern and these pants and shorts! I have lived in them this summer with shorts versions in lighter linen as well as heavier denim and drill. Its just coming into autumn here in the southern hemisphere and Ive made my first cropped wide leg version and they are divine! Can't wait for some cooler weather to wear these babies! They work brilliantly with the Pietra top too for my fave combo!
The fit is lovely and the high, flat waist is so flattering and even better.... no zips to sew!
