I recently finished these High Waisted Pants from Simplicity 4886. I’ve made this pattern twice before, both in capri length. I used cotton/polyester, interfaced the waistband, and inserted an invisible zipper on the side.

I don’t know if I like cotton/polyester (or anything with polyester) as much as I do natural fabrics. This version is still very wearable, but these aren’t as comfortable to wear as the capris are. I also need to move up the inseam a little bit if I’m to make these again.

  1. So how high is the waist?

    At your belly button? Less than an inch above? More than an inch above?
