What a privilege and joy it is to sew our own clothes! Our own pants!
I sewed the Philippa Pants by Anna Allen and the Dawn Jeans by Megan Nielsen in the same denim to compare the look and fit of each. Both are wonderful patterns! They each have good instructions and are an enjoyable sewing experience. It’s a delight to have each of these pants in my wardrobe.
Note that the Philippa Pants pattern has a side seam, but I joined the front and back pattern pieces on this pair and omitted that seam.
The Dawn Jeans pattern has 4 leg options. This is the tapered leg view.
The denim is 12 oz brushed bull denim from the lovely Cloth Story. She still has some in stock if you want to grab it for yourself!
Here are side by side photos of each.

Dawn Jeans
The simple lines and wide fly are what I love about the Philippas. The classic jean look and back yoke are what I love about the Dawns. This is my second pair of each pattern, and I hope to make more!
