Pieces stay upright so the grainline runs along the fabric — that keeps the garment hanging right. Turn on rotation only for non-directional fabric. Cut through several layers for multiples; “on fold” pieces go against a fold. Buy a little extra for your first make.
Suggested fabric
Cotton flannel · Brushed cotton · Cotton poplin · Soft viscose/rayon
120–220 gsm (3.5–6.5 oz/yd²)
soft and drapey woven
Choose a soft drapey woven like cotton flannel or lightweight viscose so the elastic waist gathers comfortably and the legs hang without stiffness.
Avoid: canvas, denim, structured suiting
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut
Print at 100% / “Actual size”. Measure the 50 mm test square before cutting. Tape pages by row & column, then cut along the dashed line (it includes seam allowance) and sew along the solid line. Watch the grainline arrows — auto-arrange may rotate a piece to save paper.
Atelier notes
- 01Add a drawstring as well as elastic so the waist can be adjusted.
- 02Brushed cotton or flannel makes the cosiest lounge pants.
- 03Reinforce the crotch seam — it takes the most stress when sitting.
Cut 2 front and 2 back legs. Simplified pull-on block — no fly or pockets. · Seam allowance 12mm.
