Pietra Pants & Shorts Pattern

I’ve used this pattern so many times, I had to buy a second copy to use when the first got worn out. Actually, I’m using the second copy to trace pieces I’ve misplaced from the first. It’s a wonderful pattern.

Excellent pattern, so well drafted with neat pocket design, brilliant instructions and guidance. High waisted, which may not suit all shapes - happily, perfect for me. Made six pairs and thoroughly enjoyed the make.

A comfy yet smart looking pair of shorts with great pockets. Can't wait to make up the long version

Three pairs of short so far and I love the pockets. The instructions are detailed & pictures contributed to a quick make. Going down 2 sizes and adding darts to the back improved the fit. I’m planning to make pants in the Fall.

I made the wide leg Pietra Pants in a linen blend and wow! They look great on me, and are completely on-point with current fashion. Even though these are MUCH easier than other Closet Core patterns I have made, they still have lots of details that elevate them above similar designs by other designers. The instructions are clear. I recommend doing a muslin in the shorts view as you will not know how they are going to fit until you have the waistband completely on. The only change I made was to lengthen the elastic, but it was good to practice all the techniques before I cut into my expensive fabric. Closet Core, keep up the great work!
