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.

Winter fabrics: heavy denims, heavy brushed twills, wool suiting, corduroy

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

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.

Comfy pants!

I love the details on this pant. I was looking for a wide leg pant with button front and elastic back and this was the perfect choice. I get compliments on them all the time.

Beautiful trousers

This was the first pattern I tried after many years of not sewing anything. I made them from a lovely, flowy viscose/linen mix. I’m particularly thrilled with the fly binding details. They were a reasonably straightforward make, and I love the finished trousers!

hard zip

decided to go for the spring trousers as my first semi-hard pair of pants. they were an utter and total flop. The instructions for the zip fly were lacking, and the online picture guide didn't help much. Ended up paying for the pants workshop, and now i think i will be able to sew them, as the workshop makes it all very easy to understand. Cannot help but speculate ....

Hi Evan, I'm sorry to hear you found the Spring Trousers challenging. We would always recommend using an online workshop to sew your first pair of trousers, especially as our zip fly incorporates binding finishing. If you'd like to feedback on which steps you found difficult in the fly instructions we will review the text and illustrations and try to improve them.
I hope you've found the pattern and workshop useful in the end and enjoy wearing your trousers,
Hetty

Excellent trousers

I'm a confident beginner, and like to challenge myself with something out of my comfort zone sometimes. This was the perfect pattern for my first zip-fly pair of trousers. Yes, I did get confused at a point, but I found a step-by-step photo guide on this website for the zip-fly and it was super helpful to get it perfect.

I love the overall construction of the trousers, and the details of the pattern. The fit ended up just perfect (probably also helped by the elastic in the back ;) ). I've used a linen fabric, and the trousers are fabulously flowy and airy, I can imagine wearing them all spring and summer. Will deffo make again, and can't wait to experiment with the fabric weight and style. Total recommend.

I've learned a lot

This pattern produces a beautifully finished garment and I have really learned a lot of fantastic techniques. However unfortunately the style of the finished garment didn't suit me. I measured carefully but the garment had way more room over the hip than I expected and more fabric in the leg width than I expected even for a wide leg trousers style. I think it would maybe suit a taller person better. I am 5 feet and 5 inches. I think for me I would prefer a version without the front pleats and a wide but more tapered leg style. I ended up removing some width from the side seams of the finished garment to make it more useable for me, but this did mean I lost the nice top stitching on the outer leg seams.

Quite a struggle for an inexperienced sewer

I am not a very experienced seamstress so I did struggle a bit with this pattern - in particular with the waistband and the fly. After a lot of unpicking and reconstructing, the end product turned out quite well though. The shape of the pants is very nice.
I do confess that the elastic in the waistband got the better of me and I resorted to a more conventional way of inserting elastic.

I can’t wait to be done

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.

Beautiful

My dream wide leg trousers. The elastic back makes fitting so much easier and makes them super comfy. Great instructions.
