Usually, the hubs and I go to a black-tie event for NYE, but this year we have plans that require more casual attire. I wanted to be comfortable, yet still festive, so I made some sequin jogger pants!
I used the Anima Pants pattern from Papercut, but I modified the pattern to include a lining by taping the pocket piece to the leg piece before I cut the lining fabric. 
For reference, I made an XS, but next time, I’ll make a full seat adjustment because the bum is a little snug. Also, I decided to leave the cuffs off the bottom because I liked the dressier look.
The pocket lining does not show at all because the pocket opening was interfaced with a 1″ strip of fusible and it was understitched.
I also thought this style would look awesome with a black velvet or silk satin ribbon going down the side seam like tuxedo pants, but I thought of this too late into the construction process. Maybe next time!
I bought the rose gold sequin mesh fabric over a year ago from spandex world, and the lining is a sheer, tissue-weight black knit from Joanns. The pocket lining and waistband were cut from scraps from my fabric stash and are a 2-way stretch poly spandex blend. I was planning on using black petersham ribbon for the drawstring, but I haven’t purchased any yet. I wish I would have omitted the buttonholes for the drawstring because I like the pants without it.
This was a relatively quick project, unlike the dress I am drafting now. I can’t wait to share it in a few weeks in the Day and Night Dress Challenge hosted by Elizabeth from Elizabeth Made This. Bloggers create a casual day dress and a black evening dress, and share their results mid-January. For more information, check out Elizabeth’s blog!

So cute!! Great job!
Yet another beautifully constructed project! Perfect for bringing in the new year! So shiny and bright👍
You are so gorgeous and these pants are just wonderful! I think it is safe to say that you should probably consider just making doubles of everything you create and send them on down to Alabama. Love you so!
These look amazing! I made a sweat pant version of the Anima pant a couple months ago, but didn’t love the fit – maybe it was the fabric because these look so cute.
Thank you Lara! I originally tried to line the pants with the same thick knit fabric I used for the waistband and pocket lining, but that combination had a stiff drape and looked strange with the tapered cut of these pants. It looked like I had two inverted triangles as legs! Super unflattering, but it gave me a good laugh until I put in the current lining. If you had the same problem, try a lighter weight knit or a knit with a softer drape. Happy sewing!
Awesome you should think of soetihmng like that
