This expansion turns the high-waisted Rose Bottoms into a mid-rise style. The waist sits 2” (5 cm) lower than the original, and the back pocket placement is adjusted slightly lower to stay proportional to the new waistline.
You’ll need the original Rose Bottoms pattern instructions (found here) to complete this version, along with all the original pattern pieces except the waistband.
If you want a different look than the original elastic waist, this expansion also includes instructions for a drawstring and waistband channel — no buttonholes required. You can sew this entire pattern with a straight stitch.
This pattern will teach you some fun techniques including:
✿ Drawstring channel without button holes
✿ Super clean finish on the drawstring ends
LEVEL: Intermediate
SIZING: A–P (Hip 31”- 61”)
THE PATTERN INCLUDES:
✿ Sewing instructions with clear illustrations for each step
✿ Layered A4/Letter print at home (12 pages)
✿ Layered A0/COPYSHOP (1 page)
✿ Layered Projector file

Feel compelled to write a review to combat the review below from someone that clearly did not read the listing description (sigh). This is a free ADD-ON to the existing pattern and it is incredibly generous and kind of Sana to be offering this for free. I, for one, have already made two of this variation -- one in a cotton/linen twill and another in a poplin and will definitely be making more! The base pattern is so incredibly versatile and I already have like 10 more pairs planned.
These were a surprisingly fun make. I loved learning French seams and seeing how professional and clean it made the insides of the garment. I will be making these many times over.
Didn’t even give the entire pattern to print
Hi Roberta! The listing says you do need the original Rose Bottoms pattern to complete it, this is just an add on! I would suggest to read descriptions before you buy anything (or download for free in this case and then complain).
Another great pattern from Paradise Patterns. Instructions are always clear and easy to follow. I love that she pays attention to the insides too, nice clean finishes which is great for someone like me without a surger. Pattern is a great, modern silhouette. Never had a miss with any of Sanna’s patterns.
