FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
These trousers will have a completely different look depending on the fabric you choose, but I do recommend something with a good drape and also something that doesn’t grow as you work with it or wear it. A light, drapey fabric will look lovely and flowy. A mid-weight cotton/linen will look so relaxed and cool. Or you can choose a mid-to heavyweight for a chic winter pant. You won’t need pocket lining fabric or pocket facing if using lightweight fabric, in that case you can use your main fabric.
(Rayon/Tencel/Lyocell twill, challis or crepe, Linen, Linen blend, Cotton, light to heavy Wool, Corduroy, Denim, Silk, Satin)
NOTIONS
- Zipper
- Button (around 3/4” in diameter) (28-36 Ligne)
- Light woven interfacing
- Double fold bias tape the length of your waist ONLY if using thick material or making the clean waistband construction
