Free Sewing Pattern MELLOW Trousers / Downloadable PDF
Pattern Easy to sew, quick to slip on and incredibly comfortable to wear, the MELLOW Trousers are the perfect introduction to trouser-making – without compromising on style. Designed with a relaxed, slightly cropped leg, MELLOW features a distinctive side panel that can be highlighted with topstitching, piping or a contrasting fabric for a truly personalised finish. Italian side pockets add practicality to the front, while oversized patch pockets at the back complete the design. One of MELLOW's most refined details is its cleverly constructed waistband: elasticated at the back, with a faux button fastening at the front for the polished look of tailored trousers. The choice of fabric is almost endless. Sew them in a classic suiting wool for an elegant look, dupion for effortless sophistication, jacquard for a statement finish, or gabardine and denim for a more structured everyday style. The hardest part will be deciding which version to make first. The Mellow Trousers is sized from 34 to 52. The finished garment measurement chart is available in the product photos.
