Drawstring Knit Joggers With Pockets

Women's pull-on joggers for knit fabric, with a folded elastic waistband and a drawstring, curved front pockets and slightly tapered legs. Front and back each have a centre seam.

When To Wear

At home, for travel and for weekend wear with T-shirts, sweatshirts and trainers.
All year round, depending on the weight of the knit.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Relaxed through the hip, narrowing gently towards the ankle.

Length: Full length.

Waist: Separate front and back waistband pieces, folded in half lengthwise, with elastic held by two rows of stitching; the drawstring exits through two buttonholes on the front waistband.

Pockets: Curved front pockets: the opening is faced with the pocket bag and topstitched 0.1 cm from the edge, and a separate side piece forms the inner part of the pocket.

Legs: Centre front and centre back seams, side seams and inseams; no darts or pleats.

Back: Plain, without pockets.

Finishing: Hems turned up by 2 cm and topstitched, preferably with a twin needle to keep the stretch.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Straight construction seams, faced front pockets and an elastic waistband; working with knit fabric needs a stretch stitch or an overlocker.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with low stretch, of natural or blended fibres. Sew with an elastic or narrow zigzag stitch, or on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Additional Supplies

Elastic tape for the waistband
Cord for the drawstring

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm, hem allowances 2 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back Half – 2 pieces
- Front Half – 2 pieces
- Back Waistband – 1 piece
- Front Waistband – 1 piece
- Side – 2 pieces
- Pocket Bag – 2 pieces

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

Sewing Instructions

Place the pocket bag on the front half and stitch the pocket opening on a straight stitch machine. Clip allowances at curves, turn the pocket bag to the wrong side, topstitch allowances to the pocket bag 0.1 cm from the seam, and press.
Place the front half on the side according to the markings. Stitch the pocket bag to the side, serge allowances. Secure the pocket bag to the front half along the upper and side edges.
Stitch the center seam on the back halves, press allowances to the left side and serge. Stitch the center seam on the front halves, press allowances to the left side and serge.
Stitch the side seams, press allowances to the back half and serge. Stitch the inseams, press allowances to the back half and serge.
Mark the elastic stitching lines on the waistband. On the front waistband, make 2 buttonholes for the drawstring according to the markings. Stitch the waistband and the elastic tape separately into a loop. Press the waistband lengthwise in half, right side out. Insert the elastic tape into the waistband, stretch it to the length of the waistband, and sew 2 rows of topstitching. Attach the waistband to the trousers. Insert the drawstring.
Serge the hem allowance of the trousers, press to the wrong side, and topstitch.
