Pomona Pants, wide-legged version. How many is too many?

In Blog, DIY by ShannonLeave a Comment

I was in a sewing rut a few months ago, and I kept trying to kick-start myself out of it. Of course, it was pandemic-related. Everything is so heavy and hard, and I could not muster the everything I needed to deep-dive into sewing again. But then I got the Pomona Pants pattern by Anna Allen Clothing, and everything just fell into place for me. Seriously, I have made 5 pairs of pants, 4 pairs of shorts for me, and 1 pair of shorts for Lorajean. And I have 2 more pairs of shorts cut out, and fabric for many more pairs of pants. Can you say obsession? 😉

These are in a very flowy and light fabric from Joann’s, and they make me feel like a Golden Girl.
These might just be my favorites! They are in Kaufman Essex, which is my preferred fabric for this pattern…
THESE! I envisioned some vintage pants I had thrifted a looooong time ago, like sailor’s pants, and they turned out pretty perfect. They are in a linen-rayon blend from Joanns, and they are fantastic.
This is the first pair I made. My sewing buddies talked me into using it during a Zoom sewing sesh, and I’m so glad they did! I love them! This is Essex.

I have one other pair that I need to tweak a bit before photographing (the fabric is heavy, so I want to take the rise up a bit before I wear them obsessively).

I have some other fabric cuts to make these pants in, including some quilting cotton and more Essex. I also want to try the narrower-legged version, so you might see some of that action soon!

I am in a bit of another sewing slump right now; it’s too hot to do much, and I want to want to sew more than I actually want to sew right now. Hoping that passes, and I might even push myself through sewing a few things (I have 2 pairs of shorts and a dress cut out, soooooo…)
