Such a great fit for my fluctuating body, with the flat front and elasticated back. Very clear and detailed instructions. I’ve been searching for a pattern like this for some time, so glad I found it!
Hi Stine, thanks so much for your lovely review! It’s so great to hear you’ve found your go-to trouser sewing pattern, yay! That elasticated waistband really does make them so comfortable, doesn’t it? I hope you enjoy wearing them and make many more pairs. :) Happy sewing, Virginija x
Quality of TATB is always great, love the thicker paper which make tracing a doddle and instructions are always very details.
Another winner of a pattern from T&TB
My first foray into trousers (as a confident beginner). The pattern gives really clear and detailed instructions.
I was unsure whether to add the front pockets as I thought that might be too much too handle - not at all, its so well explained I found it an absolutely great step by step process.
I didn't pay attention to the suggested fabrics- I wish I had, I will be making another pair in one if the suggested fabrics very soon.
Brilliant pattern - love it.
Hi Sandra, wow - these Winnies are incredible!!! It’s so great to hear you didn’t hesitate and went for the more advanced option. I’m really looking forward to seeing your future versions, and I hope you enjoy wearing these in the meantime - they are stunning! Happy sewing, Virginija x
Ansolutely love my Winnie trousers. As always, wonderful instructions. Thanks again TATB!
This my third pair of Winnie trousers. I love making them. Pattern surprisingly straightforward. Love them oh and by the way I am known as Winnie to my work mates!!
Hi Carol, your Winnies are absolutely gorgeous - thanks for sharing such a lovely photo of them! Hope you continue to enjoy wearing them. Happy sewing, Virginija x
