About this Sew-Along:
Sometimes you just want to wear pants in the summertime – and it’s is possible with the BurdaStyle Cropped Wide Trousers! A little lightweight fabric and the perfectly cool and loose silhouette is all you need. The hip yoke adds an extra figure-shaping element to these cropped trousers that fall casually to a relaxed hem width. Details make the difference – here with large pockets and big buttons meant to get noticed. Best of all, they sew together easily with instruction from Meg Healy, who will help you along the way in this sew-along.
From installing those hip pockets with buttons and buttonholes, to finishing the wide hem cuff and shaped waistband – this sew-along has it all. Even if this is your first time sewing a pair of pants, you’ll be able to execute them perfectly and you can eliminate certain components to suit your skill level. This sew-along includes patterns for BOTH regular and plus sizes, so everyone can wear this on-trend leg silhouette style for the season. Meg will start with sewing the regular size pants from start to finish and then talk about the plus size version and even show how to draft them to match the exact style! You can then take those drafting skills to many other projects.
From hot summer days, to cool summer nights – these transitional pants can even be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. The flat waistband that sits perfectly at the waist, enables you to pair all kinds of top silhouettes either tucked in or over top without looking to bulky. Pants may be intimidating, but once you watch all the videos in this sew-along, you’ll be able to whip some up no problem.

This was a really great pattern. It fitted really well. The wide cuff allowed me to use scraps as I didn’t need huge lengths for the trousers. I had lots of triangular bits left over from a bias cut dress made 3 years ago when I started sewing. The fabric was a lovely denim-coloured wool linen cotton mix and I patched together where necessary to make pieces big enough. I didn’t have quite enough so used a similar feel dark green wool for the front cuff and the back pocket. Top sewing in green on my patched areas. Must post a photo, but love the pattern. Thank you.
