Portobello – PDF sewing pattern (sizes 16-28)

£9.00

Simple, elegant and oh-so-flattering, the high-waisted Portobello trousers are a cinch to make and work in a variety of fabrics for year-round comfort. Make them in a lightweight wool and you’re work-ready in the winter; linens and rayons will keep you cool and effortlessly chic in the summer. The wide-legged silhouette is bang on trend and can be made to evoke the glamour of the ‘40s starlet or the relaxed vibe of a ‘70s bohemian. Pair with fine jumpers, soft blouses or cropped tops.

The trousers are constructed with front pleats and back darts, and a centre-back concealed zip (avoiding any tricky fly construction!), along with the all-important in-seam pockets. This pattern is suitable for confident beginners and upwards; you’ll need to be able to insert a concealed zip but otherwise everything is pleasingly simple.

Skill level: confident beginner

Suitable fabric:

light- to medium-weight wovens, ideally with some drape, e.g. crepe, linen, chambray, rayon, lightweight wool, cotton lawn, velvet.

Notions: 

1 x 9” concealed zip, 1 x 1/2” button, fusible interfacing for the waistband.

The Bees are back in town! Did you catch the first The Bees are back in town! Did you catch the first episode of the new season Sewing Bee last night? We were so excited to see the contestants sewing a Camden-like skirt in the very first round! Those minis were amazing, such a great start to the season! And what better excuse to share this Camden Skirt @laura.sews.style made 💜 We love the 70s feel Laura created by pairing the skirt with the new waistcoat pattern from @newcrafthouse (and yes, this outfit is so good they've shared it too!)
