Sidewinder Pant

Regular price $18.50

Unit price per 

Size

A simply constructed pant with a side seam that wraps the leg in diagonal line to flatter and streamline. The angled seam encompasses the easy-sew front internal pocket. The Sidewinder pants are pull on, with minimal back gather and easily constructed without buttons, zips or fastenings.

With a lightly tapered leg, these pants are designed to be worn just above the ankle with either a standard, fold up or deep gathered hem. The Sidewinders look just as flattering in the full length trouser option.

A perfect pattern for your first trousers - ideal for confident beginners.

STYLE OPTIONS: 

  • Fold under hem in 7/8 or full length.
  • Gathered hem in 7/8 or full length.

FABRIC

Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image if viewing it on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.

Designed for mid weight WOVEN fabrics, the Sidewinder Pants work well in polyester, viscose, tencel, linen and cotton blends. The pattern also has good results  in a light weight wool blend suiting for colder temperatures.  Keep in mind that a mid weight fabric that drapes well is preferred. If the fabric is too heavy or stiff the back waist gather will not flatter. 

Patterned fabric - The side seam is a key design feature and important to keep in mind when choosing your fabric. Jacquards, small prints and plain (block colour) are the easiest to sew. Plaids also look good (refer sample images) but are best matched at the side seam (intermediate sewers will find this easy enough and there is a tutorial to help here).

Sample images- our grey plaid sample is our stand out favourite and is constructed in a polyester/viscose weave with 2% spandex. The spandex is not essential but the fabric drapes beautifully, moves well and is easy to sew. The Sidewinder pants are designed for non-stretch woven fabrics so we do recommend you consider sewing down a size if you are using fabric with stretch.

DIFFICULTY

Confident Beginner (2/5).
The Sidewinder pants can be sewn with or without an overlocker (serger) to neaten the seams.

SIZE & FITTING

Please note that if you are in doubt, please choose the size depending on your HIP measurement. Choose your hip measure closest to the size chart in the first instance (and then refer to the finished measure chart for the amount of ease if you are "in between" sizes).

These pants have a gathered rear waistband (flat front) so the waist is easily adjustable. The hip measure should decide the size.

Each purchase comes with 4 sizes (please refer to the last image for size chart and international size comparisons). Hover over the image to magnify.


Small - (NZ/AU/UK 6-8-10-12  | US 2-4-6-8)                     
Medium - (NZ/AU/UK 10-12-14-16  | US 6-8-10-12)       
Large - (NZ/AU/UK 14-16-18-20  | US 10-12-14-16)        
X-Large - (NZ/AU/UK 18-20-22-24  | US 14-16-18-20)

PATTERN UPDATES

The Sidewinder pants pattern files were updated in June 2021 to our latest pattern formats and size bundles. The pant leg was also adjusted to drape better.

If your version of the sewing pattern is not in a size bundle labelled S,M,L or XL then you have the older version and we highly recommend you log into your account (please note you will have to set up an account if you haven't already) to download the latest. Please get in touch at info@sewingrevival.co.nz if you need some help with this.

WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?

Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. You can print this pattern at home on A4 or US letter-sized paper or take it to a print shop for large scale printing (AO size). *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*

Instant download available immediately after checkout includes:

1. Instructions

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes).

Love these pants

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pants pattern for a few years, and I think I have finally found it. These pants fit me perfectly (with no alterations, which is a miracle), they are super comfortable and stylish, and they are very quick to sew up. Iˋm about to start cutting out my second pair. Thank you for a great pattern.

The best pants I've ever made

This pattern is a dream to work with! Very well written, all of the pieces and markings match up perfectly. I've already made 2 pairs, and many more will follow.

I would love to have them in all colors

I became aware of the pants through an influencer. I sewed a light cotton fabric with a small amount of elastane. The trousers create a slim silhouette and are still comfortable. Equally suitable for leisure and office. It is relatively quick and easy to sew, I think it is also suitable for beginners. I am so excited about the pattern that I immediately sewed myself a second pair of pants. I would love to have them in all colors.

Sidewinder Love

I have been looking for the perfect pull-on pants and I think I've finally found them. The flat front and minimal gathering in the back are really flattering and the curving side seam and interesting pockets are trendy and modern. I easily added a couple inches of length to them at the lengthen/shorten line (thank you!), but this was the only modification I had to make. It is so rare that I have such good luck with pants. I'll be making more.

Stylist pants

Made these for the second time, turned out great again. Also made a pair for a friend and she loves them. Love the detail of the seam going to the back, very stylish.

just well dressed!

I have sewn these beautiful pants twice. Yes, that’s convincing they are. Once in linen (light blue) and once in popeline. They are comfortable and you are simply well dressed! I am convinced that even a good beginner will enjoy this pattern!

Positive update-Please read

The issues mentioned in my previous review were not the fault of Sewing Revival. Apparently MS has adjusted their security and was blocking downloads from SR. Janine reached out with a solution so I can finally get started sewing my Sidewinders. I hope to add to my Sewing Revival patterns in the future!

Cannot download- no customer service response!

When I received my download email, the download was flagged as containing a virus with risk to personal/financial information. I immediately reached out to the customer service contact link but received no response. When asked to review my purchase I once again reached out for assistance before writing a review. Still no response. I’ve considered purchasing from this site for a long time and am disappointed by this experience, not to mention not having the $$ spent or the pattern that I was looking forward to using.

The Sewing Revival

Hi Lorrie, I sent you an email on 15 March (the same day of your message) in response including another link to redownload the files. Again on 1 April, I responded to your second email - a tim e were only just becoming aware that MS Edge had updated its browser software and blocking downloads from the site that delivers our pattern files. We are working hard to solve this and have added a new tutorial on how to unblock and download a file and also how to easily add us to your browsers' trusted website list. There is no reason you should not have received our email responses (please check your spam or junk folders).Please also refer the following tutorial to unblock the files: https://thesewingrevival.com/pages/downloading-files-blocked-by-browser

Great design

I have only completed one pair of Sidewinder pants but already have another cut out in progress. I have a hard time finding pants patterns that fit the way I want in the legs and seat, but these work really well. The pockets are great too.
