The Spring Trousers are designed to feel breezy and elegant with plenty of space to move. They work amazingly well in a huge range of fabrics, from silks to denims, linens and heavy corduroys. Your fabric choice will determine the character of your garment; you could make a cosy corduroy trouser for winter or a floaty silk piece for a wedding. Both work equally well which is unusually versatile for a pattern.

Suitable fabrics: This piece is predominantly designed to work with linens and light cottons, however there is also scope to play with heavier fabrics.

If you want to make a wintery pair, this cut works well in a heavy brushed twill or a corduroy.
