Harem Pants Sewing Patterns

Harem pants are baggy, long-legged slacks that women typically wear as a type of informal clothing. Harem pants were once prevalent in many Western countries throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. 

Paul Poiret introduced harem pants first in 1910. He took inspiration from the Middle Eastern Turkish trouser styles called “salvar.” 

Celebrities such as Lady Gaga have brought back to life the popularity of harems and have helped make them trendy again! 

These days you can find these pants all over mainstream retailers like Forever 21 or Zara for an affordable price.

Below is a list of the best harem ladies’ pants sewing patterns for you to try out!

The harem pants sewing pattern by Sew Mag is a fantastic way to improve your sewing skills. This free sewing pattern features gathered, overlocking, and stretch stitches that aren’t too difficult so that a confident beginner can master them with ease.

We do not recommend this sewing pattern to a novice sewer because it deals with stretch fabric (jersey) that is difficult to work with. 

We suggest reading some sewing tips and tricks and watching a few sewing tutorials online to help you with the project. 

The pattern is only for sizes 10-12 that may be a disadvantage for smaller or bigger women. You will need to alter the pattern diagram according to your size. Learning how to make sewing patterns first may help you with the process. 

The Sew Mag blog also teaches you how to take your measurements to make pants that offer a flattering fit.
