Ankara Week trousers

Here is the Ankara Appreciation Week version of Simplicity 9376 worn with a previously made Ankara fabric jacket.

This is the second pair of Simplicity 9376 I’ve sewn and while I would have loved to have added a cargo pocket, I simply revelled in the side seam pattern matching skill I gave this pair of trousers.
I did sew the pin tuck on the front leg of these pants.

Modification details:
4cm width added to the ankle point and then 2cm wider at the waist of the outer trouser seam on both the front and back trouser pattern pieces. I also added 2cm on the front and back waistband patterns.

Added 3cm length at the centre back seam and tapered this to zero at the side seam.
Removed 3cm length at the centre front seam and tapered this to zero at the side seam.
I added more height to the pocket pieces as well, but only about 2cm at most, so I could fiddle with the waistband later.

Removed 3cm from the elastic used in the back waistband. This amount was removed when I tried on the first pair of trousers. I don’t have any explanation why except that the elastic I used may be softer than the elastic used to design this pattern.
