FABRIC
Although designed for mid weight wovens or jersey knits, this is a super versatile pattern that can be sewn from almost anything. Your fabric choice naturally determines the look and feel of the pants, but it will work with most fabrics.
Light to medium weight fabrics that have a soft drape.
The pant samples pictured are sewn in tencel (khaki with stretch hem), Linen (light blue rolled hem), Viscose crepe (Black with stretch hem) and blue floral (rayon).
We recommend:
Tencel, rayon*, rayon/poly, cotton* and cotton blends (knits or wovens)- cotton/viscose and cotton/polyester, light weight linen*
We do not recommend heavy fabrics or fabrics containing elastane or lycra.
*be sure to pre-wash fabrics like rayon, linen and cotton which can shrink up to 10%. You will need to take this into account when buying your fabric.

For winter corduroy, wool suiting (light to mid weight), poly/cotton blends.
For Summer - linen, cotton, rayon/viscose, tencel, rayon/poly.
KNIT
Fine merino wool, cotton jersey knit, sweat shirting.

SIZE & FITTING
Please note that if you are in doubt, please choose the size depending on your HIP measurement. Choose your hip measure closest to the size chart in the first instance (and then refer to the finished measure chart for the amount of ease if you are "in between" sizes).
These pants have a gathered waist with added drawstring so the waist is easily adjustable. The hip measure should decide the size.
