Anna Allen - Pomona Trousers and Shorts Pattern

The Pomona Pants + Shorts are elastic waist, high rise and loose fitting. They feature no side seams and include patch pockets on the front or back. The waistband is created by folding over the top edge of the pants, which eliminates the extra bulk you would get from a separate waistband seam. View A is a wide leg, ankle length sailor pant with one patch pocket on the back. View B is a loose tapered leg, ankle length pant, also with one patch pocket on the back. View C is the companion shorts to view A, with a 5” inseam and has two patch pockets on the front. This design was drafted for woven non-stretch fabrics.
