Closet Core Patterns - Sepia Shorts & Trousers

The Sepia Trousers & Shorts have a clever design that blends style and comfort. Functional double pockets in the front are sewn to create a floating effect, with additional topstitched pockets in the back. A traditional elastic waistband is elevated with a fluted paperbag edge and optional drawstring.

View A features barrel leg pants ending at the ankle, shaped with darts at the knee and hem. View B features wide leg, full-length pants. View C features shorts ending at mid-thigh.

This pattern is available in our 6 week Introduction to Garment Making Course or the Stitch Summer Shorts or Trousers
