Friday Pattern Pick
Friday, October 24th, 2014
This week it’s the turn of an easy but sassy little number – McCall’s M6843, a pattern for shorts and trousers.
I like this pattern as it’s the sort of thing you can whip up quickly and also use just about any fabric that takes your fancy. So nice patterned cottons for summer through to plush jersey or fleece for winter (maybe for only in the house if you make them out of the latter!) I know a few people who have used the pattern to make pyjama bottoms instead of outdoor trousers/shorts and they report that they are very comfy, in and out of bed.
The trousers come in two versions – tapered and not tapered and the shorts can be made in various lengths. With an elasticated waist the pattern is ideal for beginners or those needing a bit of confidence with their machine.
If you fancy having a go at these trews, and want to have a chat/laugh/meet new people too, then join our workshop on the 16th of November. Christina, our charismatic sewing tutor will be on hand to help you every step of the way and we guarantee you’ll come away with something fit to wear. Details are on our workshop page.
A very useful sewing site
