S.O. Sew Patterns
Sew a pair of Willow Trousers for our take on the on-trend ‘balloon trouser’, or choose a classic and timeless wide leg culotte or shorts. This trouser pattern will see you through all seasons.
A curved cuff panel at the hem removes the bulk and volume from this popular style while staying true to the silhouette. Plus you can play with your prints and colours to create a stand out, unique style. Or choose from classic wide leg culottes or loose shorts for a timeless option. All views feature an elasticated waist and front slash pockets, with the option for back patch pockets too.
