Take the next step on your dressmaking journey and tackle TROUSERS!
Rose is a high-waisted pants and shorts sewing pattern featuring slash pockets and a pleated or gathered front. The front waist is flat while the back waist is elasticized for comfort and style. Choose from three lengths: long, cropped, or shorts.
The Rose trousers are a fantastic advanced-beginner project as they introduce you to sewing trousers without the worry of too complicated fitting or having to install zips or buttons, but still having lots of lovely new sewing techniques to learn.
