Jasper Joggers

7/11/2016

Following the ladies Swim & Surf shorts, the designer wanted a quick refresh of her Jasper Joggers pattern for woven fabrics.  I knew these would be great for my boys for the Summer and they looked so versatile so I went for it and here they are, my first but certainly not last pair of Jasper Joggers!  PS....read all the way to the end for a chance to win yourself a copy!

Pattern Details

The unisex Jasper Joggers are by Gracious Threads and come in sizes 2-12 (36"-60" height) They are a 25 page PDF file which includes 9 pages of illustrated instructions and 16 layered pattern pages to print. You'll need 1-1.5m of non roll elastic (width varies from 1"-2") and anything from 70cm to 2.10m (3/4 - 2.5 yards) of light to medium weight woven fabric depending on size.  There is a faux fly and faux welt pocket instructions included as well as functioning side slant pockets for the front.

My Version

I made the size 2 for my monkey as per his measurements, I made no adjustments whatsoever so they are exactly as per the pattern.  They are actually made from a hard wearing medium weight poly cotton mix fabric from an upcycled nurse scrub top which I picked up for 25p at the local carboot sale and around a metre of elastic! They took me around 2 hours to sew from print to finished.

​How does it fit?

I love the slim but relaxed fit, the length is good, the waist and front/back rise both sit well and at a good height and the elastics at the ankles aren't tight enough to grip and be uncomfortable. He likes them although wishes they were blue!

​Project Cost

Full price pattern - (£5.78) $7.50  - I received the pattern for free in return for testing
Fabric Cost - £0.25 ($0.32)
Notions & Thread - £1.50 ($1.95) 

Total Cost - £7.53 ($9.77)

Cost to make each additional with similar style (non upcycled) fabric - £5 ($6.49)
​
The Jasper Joggers are on re-release sale for $6.50 (£5) only until 14th July!

The Verdict

I'll certainly be making more of these, for both of my boys, I'll also make some without the elasticated ankle cuffs for more formal smart wear. I might even make the back fax welt pockets, real ones on those smarter ones!

Oooh these look like fun to try, but I'm petrified of waistbands as a beginner!

please don't be afraid of them, you just sew a channel and then thread elastic through.

Good looking pants! The faux welt pockets are a nice detail. I have this designer's Lazy Days knit lounge pants pattern and all 3 of my kids love those.

My boy has a store bought pair so similar! I'd love to make him more, he doesn't like jeans and track suits aren't quite dressed up enough so these would be perfect! X

They look fabulous. My son is tall and lanky so I'm always on the lookout for pants that would work for him.
