Jersey joggers with slanted side pockets, a wide quilted waistband on elastic and a drawstring, and knit cuffs at the ankle.
The legs are joined along the outseam and inseam and then the crotch, with slanted pockets set into the front panels and knit cuffs gathered onto the hems.
The waistband is made double, quilted with lines 2 cm apart, and takes both an elastic band and a drawstring through eyelets. Its inner half can be cut from a lining fabric to cut down bulk when the main fabric is thick.
Attention! Pattern pieces already include 0.7 cm (0.27″) seam allowances for all edges.
