Sew Stretch Woven Joggers: free pattern

Inside: Learn how to sew stretch woven joggers with my free jogger pattern. I used my free jogger pattern to create amazing and comfortable stretch woven pants. Perfect for exercise or a day running errands.

Recently I was thinking about sewing myself some stretch woven joggers. As a test I used my womens jogger pattern for the pants and I’m super pleased with the result. I think these are a great start and am excited to find more fun stretch woven prints and sewing more joggers.

Stretch Woven Joggers –

So in reality, these were really my prototype. I wanted to see if my jogger pattern created for knit fabric would work for the stretch woven. I think there are a couple of things I could do to make them better the next time, but overall if you are looking for a free pattern that works with stretch woven, this one has potential.

A couple of things I would probably do next time. 1. I would size up, these fit fine, but I would prefer a bit looser fit. 2. I think maybe I would stitch down the curve of the pocket to keep it in place. 3. I made my waistband a bit too loose, so I need to take it off and shorten the elastic.

Actually, I don’t need to take the waistband off, I just need to pick out the top stitching and then pull the elastic tighter. I will add top-stitching back on after.

I sewed these up just like the original joggers. I used all stretch woven {source below} except for the ankle cuffs. I wanted these really stretchy and snug, so I used a black athletic knit fabric for the cuffs. You could also use a fabric like this for the waistband if you like.

How to sew stretch woven joggers –

supplies I used:

• Athletic knit fabric for the cuffs
• Womens jogger pattern
  • next up – using the scraps from this project to create this same look for my daughter with this kids jogger pattern

• Stretch Woven fabric in black – this site has a monthly pre-order. There are also some colors/prints available for regualr retail. I got an order of stretch woven and some vinyl before Christmas.
• 1.5″ elastic for waistband

I sewed up the pattern just like in the jogger tutorial. This fabric really is so so comfy and I think looks so nice too. My daughter hates jeans, so I’m planning to make her some of these with the black fabric as a faux dress pants look.

Here are a couple more looks at my new stretch woven joggers. If you like the sweatshirt I’m wearing in these photos it’s the womens Raglan sweatshirt.
