Fabric Suggestions
For the Carrie Trousers you’ll need a lightweight woven fabric with a lots of drape, in particular rayon and lightweight crepe. We also made them in Roma Ponte in our Sewalong.
Fabric Requirements
The Carrie Trousers PDF sewing pattern is sized between UK sizes 6-30. See the chart for details on fabric requirements.
Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.
What will I receive?
The downloadable pattern file contains:
- printable pattern (in both tiled print-at-home and copyshop format)
- fully-illustrated printable instruction booklet
- copyshop permission letter
The Carrie Trousers pattern is either 32 A4 pages, 28 US letter pages, or 2 A0 copyshop pages (6-20) or 33 A4/US Letter pages or 2 A0 copyshop pages (18-30).
If you purchase the PDF Pattern + Copyshop Printing option, you will also receive your pattern printed on A0 paper in the post. Find out more about our Copyshop Printing Service here.
So what is a PDF pattern?
A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper. Alternatively you can choose to have the copyshop files printed on large A0 paper, and posted to you at home. If you’re using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.
