I’m so excited that it is pants season again! I spend my summer months in shorts and dresses and by the time September rolls around, I am always happy to start wearing my beloved jeans and other longer pants again. Specifically the Falconer Pants! We launched this pattern back in February of 2025, so I only had a few months of wearing them regularly before the warm weather hit. Naturally, I made a new pair to celebrate!

I made these new Falconer Pants in a custom printed cotton twill from Blackbird Fabrics. I love the darker tone and the scale of this leopard print - it’s perfect for pants! Leopard print jeans seem to be a popular trend this year so it is nice to have a custom fitted pair.
I made a slight adjustment to this pair of Falconers. I decided to experiment with making the barrel side panel even wider to accentuate the barrel shape. I added 1” (2.54 cm) on both sides at the widest point and tapered it up to the pocket and down to the hem. It worked really well! I was still able to sew the side panel to the front and back panels without trouble. I just pinned and eased them together.
This extra barrel shape does show on the final version, but not drastically. I expected a bit more of a change in the overall look. I’m happy I did it and it does read a bit more barrel-ly, but it’s not a huge change.
I will say that I am loving these pants! The weight of this cotton twill is really nice for structured pants that don’t feel too heavy or stiff. I like that it is a bit lighter. I love the leopard print and I have more of it in my stash for another make - maybe a matching Spindrift Jacket!? I think I might have to!
I’ve paired these new pants with a classic Jackson Tee. You can’t go wrong with jeans and a t-shirt, right? Falconer is on sale this week and I am so excited to see more folks making it in the coming months. It really is so much fun to sew and to wear!
