My Heart's World - Ladies - My Abby

Abby is a sewing tutorial and pattern for 7/8-length sweatpants with a button placket. Alternatively, you can also sew them as long pants, which gives Abby a completely different look. They're definitely an eye-catcher and far more than just regular sweatpants.

With the right color and fabric choices, you won't have to hide on the couch in Abby. Its cropped fit gives sneakers a cool look. In a subtle business pattern, it's also a great office companion with ballet flats or pumps. You can complete the look even further with a faux welt pocket or a patch back pocket.

The paper pattern for my Abby sweatpants includes a pattern in sizes 32-58. Abby is designed for slightly firmer, stretchy fabrics. Unbrushed sweatpants, brushed sweatpants, or similar fabrics are best. They should be a bit thicker and not too soft. You will also need ribbed fabric, interfacing H200, eyelets, cords, elastic, and snap fasteners or other buttons to decorate the button placket.
