Designer Stitch Shakti Jersey Pants

Designer Stitch just released the pants of my dreams - the Shakti Jersey Pants. I want to live in knit pants. I've had a ton of gastrointestinal issues and can't wear any pants with a rigid waistband. My gastric issues also cause my waistline to increase by 7 inches - which means I need pants with knit waistbands that can accomodate those changes. The Shakti Jersey Pants have so many options and I've only made 1 so far.

I made the straight leg version. The Shakti Jersey Pants pattern also includes bell, side ruched, and drawstring leg variations. 

I made this pair using Atomic Blue Tactel from Zenith & Quasar.

 My top is the Sinclair Patterns Shelby Tunic and it's made with brushed nylon from Zenith & Quasar. I tucked it in for a few photos to show the pockets on the Shakti Jersey Pants.

This photos not only shows the pocket, but the contoured waistband. The Shakti Jersey Pants have 3 waistband options - standard (contoured), yoga, and side ruched.

 I love the Tactel from Zenith & Quasar and also made a pair of Shakti Jersey Pants in Spring Green.

The Spring Green is so bright and fun. I need to search my closet to find a few tops to wear with these or I'll be forced to make a few.

 And I made a pair of Shakti Jersey Pants in Enamel Blue Tactel! I love this color!

These happened to match my Itch to Stitch Nottingham top perfectly.

And another pocket shot. I did not put pockets on my Spring Green pair - as I only had one yard of it and not enough to do pockets.

I made a pair of Shakti Jersey Pants with red brushed nylon to match my Itch to Stitch Plitvice made with the same fabric.

 I also made 2 other pairs of Shakti Jersey Pants, but did not get photos of them. The summer heat here has been horrible. I took the above photos between 7 and 8 am on a Sunday and it was 85 degrees and humid. If you notice in many of the photos my face is flush and I'm soooo sweaty. So I did not get photos of all my pants I made.

The Shakti Jersey Pants are on sale for a limited time for $8.  This pattern has so many options, that you will never get tired of it. I 'm debating on making the side ruched or bell next.
