Oh the comfort.  An elastic waistband band pant is my best friend right now 😊. Fabric This is a french terry tie dye purchased from my local JoAnn's.  It's soft, has lots of drape, and feels wonderful against my skin.  The ribbed knit is a performance ribbed knit (heavier).  It was the only ribbed knit they had that would match my fabric. Pattern Adjustments (pant) Lowered the front rise 1" Raised the back rise 1" Shortened the length 3" - next time I will only shorten 2" because you double roll the hem 1/2" then 1".  I sin...
