I've made a lot of pants starting from the tail end of 2023, til now. I've enjoyed sewing every single one, and even when the construction gets samey. Most of them have rigid waistbands, carefully fitted to my current waist measurement. One of my primary concerns is if I'll be the same size in five years and if I can no longer wear them, rendering my hard work useless in the long term. That's why I want to include more pants with adjustable waists beyond a simple elastic band. I got a good start with the Papao Pants by Readytosew, with their wrap-style closure — a fun departure from my regular styles and construction methods. They're an interesting marriage between bohemian and structured and I don't have anything like it in my existing wardrobe.
