Here we see my handsome-as-ever Texas A&M Ken modeling a pair of elastic-waist pants made of pale denim blue cotton. This is a lightweight cotton fabric, and that makes these pants super easy to sew.
I’ve been negligent to begin converting Ken patterns to PDFs, but the time has definitely come. Two weeks ago, I posted my felt dinner jacket pattern for Ken, and I’m working (one item at a time) to get the whole ensemble of Ken’s formalwear converted to PDFs for easy downloads.
But it takes time.
If you’d like to make today’s easy-sew elastic-waist pants for Ken, you’ll need some cotton fabric and a bit of 1/8 inch elastic.
Today’s free printable PDF patterns will fit the following dolls or action figures:

These will be perfect for my daughter to learn to sew pants. Thanks!
You’re very welcome.
