The Eleonore Trousers are the kind of pattern that can easily become your 'go-to' trouser. They are comfortable to wear, straightforward to sew and can easily be dressed up or down.
The Eleonore Trousers are a stretch pull-on trouser with a wide waistband that contains a cleverly sewn hidden elastic. They are mid rise and fitted through the waist and hips, then straight from the knee down.
The pattern is designed to have the look of jeans, whilst being much quicker to sew. At the front there's a faux fly, so no zip sewing is needed. The front pockets are also imitation, which gives a smoother look to the front of the trouser (though if you prefer a real pocket here, Jalie also have a separate pocket add-on pattern for Eleonore).
The Eleonore Trousers have a yoke on the back for shaping. They also have roomy patch pockets, which are the perfect place for displaying your 'me made' label - that handmade finishing touch!
For this kit we've chosen a stretch velvet fabric in three lovely colours: navy, tan and pink.
This cotton stretch velvet has a short pile, which gives the fabric a fairly matt appearance for a velvet, with just a subtle sheen. It is really soft and the added elastane means that the fabric has a great amount of stretch and recovery. This fabric is 98% cotton, 2% elastane.
