The Persephone Pants and Shorts pattern is based on photographs of men’s 1920s–’40s US Navy sailor pants. This is a high-waist pants and shorts PDF sewing pattern.
These pants are unique in that they do not contain side seams—the front and back pant legs are cut from one piece. The design features a concealed button fly, front waist in-seam pockets, belt loops, and two back waist-shaping darts.
View A is cropped-length pants, and View B is cut-off shorts.
