PARSLEY PANTS
ABOUT THE parsley PATTERN
The Parsley Pants pattern is a basic pant made with just one pattern piece, making them so ridiculously easy and quick to sew! The basic version features an elastic waistband, and even the extras (flat front, pintucks, pouch pockets, box pleat pockets, kneepads and the tuxedo stripe — all included in the pattern) take very little time to add. You’ll be amazed at how quickly these come together!
Parsley is available as a PDF pattern in kids’ sizes 2-10.
