There is nothing like making a brand new pattern release to make you feel on top of your sewing game! I knew the BF Patterns Parker Pants were right up my alley and they did not disappoint! I love the fit on these and the striped fabric is so dreamy.
I was drawn to this pattern because I have been enjoying barrel leg pants (hello, Falconer!) and I have also been enjoying voluminous pants. Parker feels like a great casual pant that checks both of those boxes and is ideal for everyday wear. It is very comfortable with a loose fit and a great shape through the legs. The pockets are also very roomy and comfy!
The Parker Pants have a barrel shape and a cool twisted side seam. I thought the stripe would be neat in this fabric and I was right! The side seam meets at an angle and makes for some great visual interest. I cut my pocket and drawstring fabric on the cross grain for a little contrast but I left the back pockets vertical.
I love the thickness of this stripe and I really enjoyed working with this fabric. It is a new Blackbird Fabrics custom fabric; a cotton twill that they developed with the manufacturer and it is so dreamy! It is yarn dyed so the back is also striped and beautiful. The fabric has great structure to it and it also has a warm hand and a soft face. 10/10 from me! I know they are going to make more and I would love to sew with this again.
I love how these turned out! I’m wearing them with my new frog shirt that I got for my birthday. I feel like this outfit is giving Frog and Toad and I am here for it. I need a little green or brown vest to complete the look.
