If you are looking for a project to kickstart your spring sewing then look no further than these on-trend wrap culottes available in both regular and plus sizes.

The beauty of both culotte patterns is the asymmetrical front openings that make them look like a skirt – perfect for styling from day to night with the comfort of a pair of shorts. They sit comfortably on the natural waistline and are perfectly loose fitting over the hips to give you a great silhouette shape.

This sew-along starts off with instructor Meg Healy demonstrating everything you need to get and do to make the plus size version of these culottes and even explains how they are adaptable to regular sizes too because of their wrap around waistband style!

She’ll cover everything from perfectly sewn inseam pockets (from both the inside and outside) to pleat markings and sewing the waistband complete with stitching in the ditch. Even beginner sewists will find these breezy culottes a breeze to sew.

This sew-along also has a video tutorial on the trickiest step to make the regular size culottes with a fashionable front panel to create that wrapped look secured with a button. Complete with an invisible zipper and hip pockets, these culottes are an ideal easy make for the season.

Buy now to join Meg in making a pair of on-trend culottes to match your wardrobe palette – we guarantee you will want to wear them all year long.
