This is a free sewing pattern and tutorial for elastic waist pumpkin pants (also known as balloon shorts or puff pants).
This design is easy to sew and comfortable to wear, making it perfect for beginners. Compared to Pumpkin Pants I, the inseam is slightly longer. If you prefer a shorter style, simply cut the length to your liking.
The pattern is drafted as a simple side-seam style. If you want more volume at the sides, separate the pattern pieces and adjust the lines accordingly.
Both the waistband and hem use gathers to create fullness and the classic rounded pumpkin shape. If you need an inner style, you can easily adapt our drawers pattern.
Once printed, cut along the join lines. The pattern already includes seam allowances, so it is ready to use without adding extra margins.
