Fabric Choice

For the spring-summer season, we recommend making the high-waisted pants in a soft, medium-weight fabric such as a linen-viscose blend. This will ensure a beautiful structure at the waist and pleats while maintaining a graceful fluidity in movement. Other suggested fabrics include twill, velvet, lightweight denim, and more.

Fabrics used:

  • Atelier Brunette Linen Viscose Off-White (available in other colors; note that ecru is quite transparent;))
  • Mind The Maker Viscose Twill Solid Gold

Strongly Recommended Tip: Make a muslin before sewing your beautiful fabric. Pant pattern-making is the most complicated to standardize, and you may need to adjust the paper pattern to fit your body perfectly.
