my new favorite black trousers

Size_chart

Description

after I had made yet another pair of jeans, I wanted to make a pair of trousers that would stand up to use in slightly more formal situations as well. It's not really anything fancy, but I really love these. They're my first self-designed trousers in a fabric with stretch in it, and I narrowed the pattern to make use of that. I made front pockets and single bound pockets with buttons at the back. The with is to the waist (with a wide waistband) with leg flaring out from mid-thigh.

Materials

fairly sturdy cotton with stretch, zipper, buttons

    The fit very well! I would never have the courage to draft a trouser pattern...

    way too busy for loads of sewing

    Actually, after making and fitting the basic block, drafting variations on trousers isn't that hard to do. And the fit is exactly the reason why I may never sew trousers from commercial patterns again ;) (I'll just 'borrow' style features, thank you;)

    go to fashion school

    I´m not really a fan from highwaisted clothes, but your trousers are stunning! I really like it! After this maybe I give this style a try.
