From Pattern Scout:

Nellie is a high rise utility jogger-style pants or shorts pattern featuring a fly front closure, patch pockets, and athleisure-inspired "racing stripe" along the side leg.  With flat front and back elastic facing waistbands, these pants offer a sophisticated spin on a classic, comfy style. You can dress them up with heels and a nice blouse or dress them down with a t-shirt and sneakers.

VERSION A is an ankle length pant with elasticized leg opening
VERSION B is a shorts style with a 5 inch (~13 cm) inseam.

TECHNIQUES COVERED IN THIS PATTERN:

  • Zippered fly construction
  • Installing waistband facings
  • Inserting elastic into casings
  • Attaching patch pockets
  • Decorative topstitching

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate to Advanced

RECOMMENDED FABRICS: Medium weight woven fabrics. For a more structured pant, use fabrics like linen or chambray. For a more fluid drape, use fabrics like tencel twill, viscose blends or rayon.
