Hello friends!<\/p>\n

It’s always fun to introduce you to our new sewing patterns. The Peckham Women’s Trousers<\/a> pattern is one I’ve been wanting to do for a while. It’s a classic trouser with zipper fly, angled front pockets, welt back pockets, and a straight leg plus<\/em> a special waistband that expands to make them really comfortable so you can wear them anywhere. But I particularly love that it includes all those little details that make classic trousers classic. I’ll tell you more about them below.<\/p>\n

This pattern is designed for fabrics with a little bit of stretch. Inside the waistband, we’ve hidden elastic near the side seams that allows the waistband to expand when needed. That way, the trousers look great but are also comfortable, and you can wear them around the house just as easily as sweatpants. And of course you can wear them everywhere else, too. They would be great for professional and dressy as well as casual, so it was tempting to call them the Go Everywhere Trousers.<\/p>\n

The pattern includes a classic zipper fly and slant front pockets.<\/p>\n

And I always love back welt pockets, so here they are.<\/p>\n

I made this pair with a metallic jacquard that doesn’t have any stretch at all, so you can definitely use non-stretch fabrics. But I recommend fabric with at least a little stretch for this style. You’ll be a lot more comfortable, and that’s what this pattern is all about.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick little video where I talk you through the details.<\/p>\n
