Simply made elastic waist trousers, with generous ease and dreamy side pockets. If you've been looking for an elasticated waistband project, this one is for you!

Pros of the Pattern

Generous ease for a comfy fit

Dreamy side pockets

Works in linen, Tencel or cotton blends

Why Beginners Will Love It

Little experience needed

A great first elasticated waistband pattern

Choose your drape: lighter fabric flows, heavier gives structure

Rosie's Review

I've never been keen on making hats, so it took me over a decade to sew one, and it turns out I'd been missing out on a rewarding project.

Super easy and satisfying to make... especially when you make a matching pair of bubble pants 😂

Pros of the Pattern

Fun decorative band to make it unique

Most fabrics work, great for stash busting

Easy to sew and a quick make

Why Beginners Will Love It

Easy, fully illustrated instructions

A sew-along video in case you get stuck

A quick sew for low-energy days
