FO: Rika Pants

15 June 2026

I finished these pants back in March but I didn't get a photo until recently and I've found it's best to wait to talk about patterns until I really know what I think about them. I love these pants. I've worn them a ton, they went to London and were the absolutely perfect pants for walking 20,000 steps in a day around a city. The pockets are deep and I could fit my phone in one and in the other I had my camera and it was perfect. They're comfortable and easy to wear, with a high waist, but not too high. Highly recommend this pattern. These are the Rika Pants by Closet Core Patterns. My modifications were to grade from a 12 waist to a 10 at the hip, but I also have a large gaping back adjustment to the waistband. I didn't do all the extra carpenter pockets. These are made in a Cotton Herringbone from Stonemountain and Daughter Fabrics. I'll be making at least two more pairs, one in a denim and one in the cropped version with the twisted belt loops.

A woman stands with her hands by her sides, wearing a simple light green tee and pecan colored pants. She smiles and has curly hair and white plastic glasses on. The pants are wide leg and she has flip flops on her feet.
