Simple trouser sewing pattern

Aulio Elastic Waist Shorts & Trousers

Named Clothing

The Aulio sewing pattern includes two simple options: casual shorts and classic wide-leg trousers. Both variations have a high elasticated waist with a cord casing. These timeless garments are quick and easy to sew, but comfy to wear for years to come! They are suitable for beginners and as a first trouser pattern.

For both variations, choose either a light or medium-weight fabric, preferably drapey or with a slight drape. Good options include, for example: viscose challis and crepe, cotton lawn, or washed linen.
