Flint pants and shorts pattern

I started out thinking I would make a muslin or toile but then decided to try some denim shorts in case they turned out nicely and then I would have a pair of shorts. That's exactly what happened! This is a very nice pattern! The only issue I had with it is that I had to add one inch to the waist/waistband. I made the correct size for my waist measurement but there wasn't any ease from what I saw in the numbers on the pattern, and I can't stand anything too snug. But that's all I had to do. Even the crotch depth was perfect for me. I'm very happy with my shorts! Have not tried the long pants yet.

As with all the Megan Nielsen Patterns this one fits exactly as the size guide indicates. I found it really easy to make, and the result was gorgeous! Can't wait to make these in a linen cotton blend.

I’ve purchased three different patterns and already made two skirts and a jacket. The patterns are easy to follow and the sizes correspond to the measurements indicated in the size guide. I love all the pieces I’ve made so far, and I can’t stop wearing them. I highly recommend the Designer.

Didn't make any adjustments to this pattern and they fit very well. I do have some pulling on the back, which I'll adjust for my next pair. I absolutely love how comfortable these shorts are, but they are also so cute. The instructions are very well written and the result are a great pair of shorts. I'm sewing the pants version next.

I absolutely love this pattern. I’ve made three pairs of shorts already and will try the pants soon. Great instructions, These will definitely be a wardrobe staple for me.

Made my first pair which were a bit small-thankfully had more of the fabric and made another which fit fantastic! So continued on to make another pair in a madras plaid. Will be making a denim pair and a black pair next. I made them with the tie closure.

I recently purchased the Flint pants pattern, my first ever from Megan Nielsen. I’m currently making up my second pair and I couldn’t be happier. The pattern and instructions are easy to follow and straightforward. I am really enjoying the experience!

I really like the Flint trousers. I had never made wide leg trousers before. My first pair I made at a sewing workshop at Guthrie and Ghani in Birmingham UK. We had to cut out, sew and finish them in 6 hours! I felt like a contestant on the Great British Sewing Bee. I got it done apart from the hems.
I love the version with the tie waist closure, really different. I added a few inches to the leg length as I prefer my trousers to reach my shoes. The instructions were clear and concise. Will probably make some shorts in this pattern next summer too. Each time I have worn my different versions of the Flint trousers, I have received many compliments.

I made the long, wide-legged pants. The instructions were straightforward making this pattern easy to make. The fitted split-skirt design turned out as I’d hoped, and the streamlined design is comfortable and flattering. I chose to make this from a sarong a good friend had given me. I especially appreciated the quality of the paper of the printed pattern, as well as the booklet of instructions.
Thank you!

I like that the pattern doesn't have elastic or a zip and that it is loose and comfy. I found the instructions very easy to follow and I am happy with the result. Didn't take me very long to sew.

I really enjoyed making this pattern. I chose to make view C in a size 8. The pattern is easy to make and the instructions are very straightforward and easy to follow. I would recommend the pattern.
I am looking forward to making the other views.

So far I've made one pair of button up shorts but I plan to make a tied version soon as well. I really like how easy this pattern can together and I've had so many great compliments on my first pair of shorts. I definitely recommend this pattern.

Exactly true to size, nice fit, good tutorial, quite easy and still looking great. Thanks for this pattern!

Having made two pairs of long flints and two pairs of mid length flints I finally got around to making the shorts version, this time for my daughter. I sewed them in a stretch peach feel woven fabric and should have sized down because the fabric is a woven stretch but I didn’t (silly me) They are extremely comfortable (as usual for these trousers) and the instructions are easy to follow. It’s still my ‘go to’ trouser pattern at the moment even after a few years. A little different than other patterns and stylish with those enormous pockets.

I made a straight size 12 in rayon with no adjustments. I’m am very happy with these pants. It’s true to size, instructions are easy to follow, pattern is well marked with notches - and the end result is *chefs kiss*

Love the pattern and fit. First pants pattern that I’ve only had to make one adjustment and that was to the crotch.

After first seeing the pattern, I was very interested because of the special closure an the wide legs (at the time small legs were still the majority).
The whole time working with it you can feel that it is a high quality pattern, where everything is properly thought through.
My waist is size 4, my hip size 8 and with the finished garment measures I decided to make a size 6, which was the right choice for me (still enough room around the hip). From my first muslin I knew that I wanted the legs just slightly slimmer, so I changed that and made my normal alterations to fit it to my shape. After that it was a straight forward sew.
Unfortunately there is something that I didn't like at all: the straight waistband. If your waist is significantly smaller than your hip this is just impossible to work. The straight one safes fabric and is much more comfortable to sew, but for a lot of body types the fit won't be that good. I wish that the pattern would contain both waistbands (the straight one doesn't even need a pattern, I only measure them in the pdf and never print those anyway).
My first one is made out of a slightly structured viscose, maybe my next one will be made out of stiffer fabric, we'll see :)

Sewed the short and the overall version and I'm usually a skirt/dress person, but I loooove these shorts and overalls so much!💕 The instructions are very clear and the fit is really good (and easy to alter).

I am so happy with my Flint Shorts. They are easy to make and as always the instructions and website are very helpful. I have just cut out another pair to make for summer.
Thanks for another great pattern

I’ve made a couple of pairs and love the clever side fastening. My chambray cropped version is a summer staple and made full length black crepe ones for a friend.
Need to make a pair of shorts version next.
