Let’s get to work with the Esmond Pants! This month’s Cashmerette Club pattern is a customizable cargo pants sewing pattern (with a variety of pocket styles!) designed for curves. Join the Club for as little as $9 USD to get this pattern.

Cargo pants are having a renaissance. Traditionally, they were associated with hard and dirty work, made from hard-wearing fabrics and designed for utility. But now they’re also on trend, and come in lots more colors and fabrics! However, it can be hard to find cargo pants that actually fit if you have curves—and that stay comfortable when you’re moving around, whether that’s doing yard work or off on a shopping trip.

That’s where the Esmond Pants come in! This cargo pants pattern features a relaxed style with straight legs, two bum fit options, and a partially elasticated back waistband for the ultimate curve-friendly fit. And top it off with roomy front pockets and four other pocket styles that you can choose from, as well as trendy cuffs and an optional D-ring detail to take your Esmond’s utilitarian vibe to the next level.

The Esmond comes in sizes 0-32 and is available exclusively to Cashmerette Club members. Not a member yet? Join today for as little as $9 (cancel anytime).
