Please note, if you bought this pattern between November 1st and 21st, the lower pocket notch is incorrectly placed. It should be 17.6cm down from the upper pocket notch to correspond to the pocket opening length. Place your pocket aligned with the upper pocket notch disregarding the lower notch.

Changes:
- Added detail to step 4
'If you are sewing the side slit feature, set your stitch length to the longest possible when you are 6cm from the hem.
Once the elongated stitches have been sewn, snip into the seam allowance where your stitch length changed (all the way to the seam) and press the seam towards the front above and open below.'
- Additional notches added 6cm up from shorts hem line at outer leg side seam to indicate change in stitches for slit feature
- Additional markings added to pattern pieces for pocket placement clarity
Customer Reviews
Have made these in both long and short versions. The best pants ever. Great clear instructions and great video to help with any issues. Love love love.
Love the fit of these -- very flattering. This is a great elastic-waist pattern.
I have sewn quite a few of Gracie’s patterns and I love them all. The instructions are always clear and the construction usually teaches me a different approach. I love that some of the pattern files have colour coded sizes which makes cutting the pattern out so easy!
Pattern very easy to follow & love that the waistband is not seperate! Great fit too
Love, love, love this pattern. My daughter was wanting some white beach pants for a recent getaway and everything we looked at purchasing was horrible and see through. Cheap and nasty so Foxie Boxies to the rescue. Sorry about my not so great pics but these turned out amazing and exactly what she wanted. The girlies she went away with have now put in orders for these pants with me LOL. This pattern will be made in high rotation, next will be some shorts. The fit is perfect and so comfortable to wear. Can dress up or down. Every time my daughter wears these, she gets a compliment. Highly recommend.
