It’s my turn to share these comfy track style pants for women on the M is for Moto Joggers Pattern Tour… this pattern is designed by Hatchlings Patterns HERE.
Modeled her by my oldest daughter… I made the size small for my almost-18 year old daughter. The fit is perfect for her. She is a competitive dancer and wears this style of pants often to and from rehearsals, and in hip-hop classes. These pants are made from a black stretch cotton lycra knit fabric and hot pink lycra knit fabric. I made the full length pants options with the moto detail at the knee, side pockets, and a full cuff at the ankle.
For the optional moto knee design, I stitched 4 rows of double needle top-stitching on the top and bottom just to add interesting details. The pattern instructs to cut the full length of the pants for the back, but I cut wrong, so my pants have the moto knee insert on both the front and back – oops, but i love it when a user error becomes a enhancement. I think the moto patch in the back looks good too.
The pattern is easy for beginner seamstresses. Especially beginners to stretchy fabric sewing. The design has several options including pockets, cuffs, lengths, and the moto knee design. It comes in many different sizes from XXSmall to XLarge. I especially like the elastic installation instructions. The elastic is sewn directly to the waistband, so no worries about it twisting and turning or adding bulk to your waist line.
The sewing instructions include complete construction using your serger – YAY, and Thank You! I purchased my serger machine just a few months after my sewing machine, but really don’t have a lot of experience on it. I LOVE that the Moto Joggers pattern gave me the opportunity to use my serger. Additionally, the pattern details instructions for sewing on a regular machine. I truly appreciate the thorough instructions for both options.
Visit all of the bloggers sharing their M is for Moto Joggers – like I said, there are so many different looks in this one women’s pants pattern. The line up for this pattern tour is incredible.
And, the pattern is on sale this week HERE.
These are great – I love the way you did the moto detailing, a really nice addition – I also think the flash of colour at the pockets is really nice 🙂

I can see how these would be great pants for a hip hop dance class. I like the modifications you made, and am glad that even your mistake worked out nicely!
