The Dani Trousers & Shorts is an easy to wear pattern that has options for beginners and intermediate makers. A tapered leg trouser with just the right amount of ease to skim the body without clinging, Dani can be made full length, or you can opt for the shorts view for summer style.
All versions include elastic in the waistband which makes them super comfortable to wear! Dani can be finished with a full elastic waistband, which is a great option for beginners, or a zip fly with a flat fronted waistband can be added. The elasticated section of the waistband is topstitched down (no rolling waistbands here!) and the top is finished with a dainty 'paperbag' effect.
All views have pockets-a-plenty, with patch pockets on the back and sleek inseam pockets on the side. The trousers and shorts both have a cute cuff hem, which Lauren shows you how to secure in place with invisible stitches.
We've chosen one of our favourite fabrics for this kit, our gorgeous viscose linen. This breezy fabric is the ideal weight for summer trousers and shorts and is the perfect match for Dani!

We've chosen three classic colours of viscose linen for this kit which will easily tone into your wardrobe: ecru, ocean blue and moss green.
The fabric is part linen which is the perfect fibre for wearing in summer. This breathable fibre keeps you cool in the heat and gives that beautiful nubby texture that we love linen for.
The viscose content in the fabric provides a lovely soft drape, which makes the waist gathers hang softly. The fabric is 75% viscose, 25% linen.
