Notches Tiki Pants Pattern
Tiki is your go-to pattern for modern comfort with a fashion-forward twist. Choose between a statement barrel-leg trouser or an easy-wearing pair of shorts, both designed with a relaxed fit, effortless style and all-day comfort in mind.
Tiki has a modern, comfortable fit with ease through the hips. The legs widen towards the knee before tapering back in, creating the signature barrel-cut silhouette. The horseshoe-shaped inseam gives the trousers their contemporary character, while the cropped length and wide hem further accentuate the shape. The shorts feature a simple straight fit for a more casual look.
For the long trouser version, it’s best to choose a fabric with enough structure to maintain the characteristic barrel shape. Fabrics such as denim, linen, seersucker, canvas, or cotton twill are therefore ideal. Stretch or comfort stretch is not necessary to make Tiki comfortable — the fit itself already provides plenty of freedom of movement.
If you do use a fabric containing stretch, make sure to properly stabilize the curved seams so they do not ripple during sewing or wear.
For the shorts version, you can perfectly opt for lightweight and fluid fabrics if you want to create an airy summer version or comfortable pyjama shorts.
