I love it
Why didn’t the pattern come with pockets? I know it’s an easy addition for most, but why make us think about it? Side seams at the least, but a pouch on the top, patches on the bum, and even cargo pockets would all be nice.
Hello, we appreciate your request and will keep it in mind for future patterns as this pattern is intended to be as beginner-friendly as possible. If you would like to add patch pockets, you can download a patch pocket pattern from The Bivalvia Beach Romper and follow the instructions on the post. If you prefer side seam pockets, you can download the pocket pattern from The Marisol Jumper and watch our youtube tutorial on “How to add a side seam pocket to any garment.” For cargo pockets, you can download the pattern for a cargo pocket on The Adair Cargo Pants and follow the instructions on the post.

I love this. How much stretch do you need in the fabric?
Hello, since this pattern contains so much ease, you can make it with any type of fabric even without stretch.
