Draw String Trousers, Sizes 8-22

 

 

 

These trousers are very simple and make up very quickly.

 

The pattern has had 6cm added around the waist and hips as well as 3cm added to each leg, which makes them a very comfy easy fitting trouser.

 

Ideal for lounge, summer and bed wear.

 

No difficult fastening, just a draw string cord around the waist. Although you could always substitute the cord for elastic if you wished, no pattern adjustments would be needed.

 

The pattern is relatively simple, however you will need to have a basic understanding of patterns and pattern markings, if in any doubt refer to a good sewing book.

 

Approximate amounts of fabric required (all sizes):


2.3m of fabric 115cm wide (cottons, linens, other lightweight woven fabrics)
Cord width of your choosing length of at least 1.5x your waist measurement
Matching threads.


Please see included instructions on further requirements.



THIS IS NOT A PRINTED PAPER PATTERN:

The patterns included are size 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 (see size chart below). These are FULL SIZE patterns (this is an all in one/multisized pattern so you can adjust the pattern should you be an inbetween size, and cut the size you need) , so there is no need to worry about enlarging or scaling up the patterns, all you have to do is print them off on A4 paper and assemble the pieces (full printing instructions are included) and cut out the size you need.
