Pietra Pants & Shorts Pattern - PDF Download

39 reviews

I had read or heard about the Pietra Pants. Many seem to think it was great pattern. Eventually I capitulated and purchased it to make out of some fabulous linen. It helped that the site allows PayPal and provide multi size (is anyone fitting just one size?).

Well I did not only make it once, or twice for that matter. That is right, I made it 3 times and I see more in my future. I made it twice out of linen and once out of silk (pyjama... or lounge wear more accurately). I see myself making it in performance fabric for hiking. The deep pockets are fantastic!

A definite fixture in my wardrobe to come. Comfortable and beautiful.

The pattern is an easy and relatively fast make. It is sooooooooo comfortable. A perfect casual pant.

Very pleased. I like the higher waist and the crotch length is good. I'm making them a little longer. About to make my 3rd pair.

I made two pairs of the shorts this summer, one in linen, and one in twill. I love them! I'll be making a couple pairs of the pants (wide and tapered legs) sometime to wear through the fall and winter. Love the pockets!

I love this pattern. I've already made the short and large pant, and I can't sait to do another version.
Great pattern, very clear.

I never printed out or used this pattern because of the large volume of pages/tile I would need to print and assemble. It was more costly in terms of using up my ink and paper and would take more time to assemble the tiles than just buying a similar retail commerical pattern from a fabric store and make alterations on the commercial pattern. Would have been nice to format the printing to allow for 11 x 17 paper used large format printers reducing the number of pages / tiles.

These have been the perfect shorts! I love the deep pockets and ease of taking the shorts on and off. The pattern is easy to follow. These are easily dressed up or work casual. Even work great for bike riding.
