How to print & assemble

Print at 100% / Actual Size, with scaling turned off.

Print the first page only and check the 5 × 5 cm test square before printing the full pattern.

For A4/Letter files, trim the indicated edges and assemble the pages by matching the corresponding edges. You can also have the A0 file printed at a copy shop or online pattern-printing service.

For the most accurate printing and to ensure the pattern scale is preserved, we recommend opening and printing your files with Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is free to download and also gives you access to the pattern's Layers feature, allowing you to display and print only the size or sizes you need. The Layers feature may not be available when opening the PDF directly in your browser or with other PDF viewers.

Ich habe mir bisher 1 Paar Hosen genäht und mag sie sehr! Werde definitiv noch weitere aus anderen Stoffen nähen und versuchen noch Taschen hinzuzufügen.

Great pattern! It comes with a very useful YouTube video which explained all the parts. The fly was a little challenging but the video made it not confusing at all! My pants look great and were perfect for my project

This pattern was a great introduction to sewing pants, especially if you are looking to learn fly zippers. The video was a great resource!

I would recommend sizing down, I had to make some modifications as I am a bit shorter than the standard sizing provided, at 4ft 11in, I had to remove about two inches from the rise and two from the hem, and about an inch from each side seam. If you are on the shorter side I would recommend reducing the rise prior to cutting your fabric so that the darts are not lost by having to reduce the waistband height after the fact!

Since making this pair I have made the same changes to my paper pattern and I am excited to try another pair with the full darts! I will definitely continue to use this pattern and keep it as a staple block for well fitted pants!

This is THE pants pattern. The video instructions suit my learning style and the end product was beyond my expectations!! I have never had such professional results, I am super happy🥰

I'm in love with this pattern. I almost gave up on sewing because I've been attempting to draft my own pattern, making so many adjustments, but my pants always ended up too frumpy here, too tight there...

This pattern is the best, well, not for a beginner like me, but a few tutorials here and there makes perfect 👌🏼

Nice easy trousers. Made some adjustments to the fit but that was to suit my own preferences. I even learnt some new things from the video even though I've been sewing for years! Just what I wanted

The pants i was looking for! This is such a flattering pants. The video was easy to follow i just had to re-watch the part of the fly and zip because i had never done it this way before, but i really like the end result!

Good pattern, I'm definitely going to make it again. The stretch-test was very helpful. My fabric turned out to be very stretchy and it helped me decide to cut the size that would be slightly too small according to the size chart. Now it fits like a glove, it's so figure hugging.

I'd never made pants before with the fly facing and fly guard separated from the front pieces. I like how neat the fly guard looks with this technique, but next time, I will add the fly facing to the front piece before cutting, as it's a bit bulky now with the seam.

I love the fit of these pants. I find that I usually don't have enough space in the crotch with most patterns, but this fits amazing. I feel like the fit is very flattering aswell, definitely recommend.

Thank goodness for the video, but I do wish she’s slow down and show us each step cause but was very hard to keep up with. I tried these pants twice - if you’re using cotton or something not stretchy, size up and pay attention to darts. If you’re using something stretchy, it’s true to size. I added pockets to both, and for the stretchy fabric, I hemmed them up to capris. Very cute pattern, and love that it’s a slim leg. I used my own pocket pattern for the front legs but I would highly recommend including that as an option in the pattern

As a beginner, this project was the most challenging but most rewarding thus far. The included YouTube tutorial was extremely helpful especially when it comes to installing the zipper as it was my first time doing so. I’m excited to use the pattern over and over again! Like the other reviewers have said this pattern truly is hot!

My new favourite pants pattern.

I'm a quasi-beginner, I've made a few dresses and I like to think I've got decent logical reasoning. The pattern is fine, I downloaded it, cut it out. The problem is absolutely everything else: the instructions don't explain anything. It's a short list of under a dozen steps, composed entirely of sentence fragments. But I know what you're thinking, there's a video! It's hardly any better. I hope you like rewatching 10 seconds fragments and seam ripping when you realize the step that wasn't verbalized, only a gesture, was for a different portion of the fabric than you stitched. Also, the notions list didn't include the buttons. No mention of the buttons anywhere until you get to the video.

The video is very soft spoken with loud environmental noise and bare bones instructions.

Life is too short to make this pattern.

I really liked this pattern, it's well made and the final product turned out beautiful. The only problem is the instructions, specially if you are a begginer or never made pants before, they were unclear and not detailed, I managed to finish it but it could have been easier.

Misleading size table. Overall alright
