Spring Trousers PDF Pattern
The Spring Trousers are designed to feel breezy and elegant with plenty of space to move. They work amazingly well in a huge range of fabrics, from silks to denims, linens and heavy corduroys. Your fabric choice will determine the character of your garment; you could make a cosy corduroy trouser for winter or a floaty silk piece for a wedding. Both work equally well which is unusually versatile for a pattern.

Materials Needed
Suitable fabrics: This piece is predominantly designed to work with linens and light cottons, however there is also scope to play with heavier fabrics. Starting at the lighter end of the scale, linens and lightweight cottons are ideal for this piece. Silk and tencel are also great options for a more floaty and sophisticated look. If you want to make a wintery pair, this cut works well in a heavy brushed twill or a corduroy.

Summer fabrics: light/medium denims, cottons, silks, sturdy linen

Spring Trousers PDF Pattern
I really like the pattern, but Im a novice so I am not finished yet. I love the way you can print out the pattern and stick it together yourself.
My dream wide leg trousers. The elastic back makes fitting so much easier and makes them super comfy. Great instructions.
