I’ve got a surprise for you today. It’s a new pattern!<\/p>\n

I’m pleased to introduce you to the first of our three new patterns for spring. This one seems especially appropriate for many of us right now. Introducing the Montauk Trousers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The idea for this pattern is simple: pull-on trousers with an elastic waist and (optional) drawstring. Oh, and lots of pockets. The trousers are cut so that they are comfortable, but they are also fitted enough that they can go to work if sewn in the appropriate fabric. Call them your secret pajamas if you want. And goodness knows most of us can use something that looks a little nicer than our pajamas or sweatpants while we’re stuck at home these days!<\/p>\n

Here are the details. The pattern comes with two views. Both include angled front pockets, an elastic and drawstring waistband that I mentioned, and a small vent at the hem. Make them as cropped or as long as you like with the lengthen\/shorten line on the pattern. At the back, you can include the classic patch pockets (View A) or the fancier welt pockets (View B), which elevate the style a little bit in my opinion.<\/p>\n

So I do have to admit that I’m a little disappointed with one thing. I sewed all these samples for our models, and we were scheduled for a photo shoot. But then Madrid locked down because of the coronavirus, and we weren’t able to get our models in to do photos. But who says you can’t make the most of a difficult situation? (Heaven knows, this is a super minor problem in the big scheme of things right now!) We’re fortunate that our models are close enough in size that the clothing fit my dress form for the photos, and I was able to put them on and model them for you as well. They weren’t made for me, but I think they’re close enough to give you an idea for how they should fit.<\/p>\n

Want to see the trousers in action? Here’s a little video introduction we made for this pattern.<\/p>\n
