Philippa Pants Kit

The sanded 100% cotton twill fabric we have picked for this kit feels so luxurious with a slightly brushed finish. It's non-stretch and has a nice sturdy weight of 275gsm which gives a smooth finish to a more fitted style of trouser like the Philipa.

Choose from three neutral, classic colour-ways that will easily pair with so many other items in your handmade wardrobe: Navy, Black and Stone.

This pattern is available in sizes 00-22.

The waist measurement range is 24" - 41" and hip measurement range is 34" - 51".

Alongside the purchase of this kit you will receive access to Lauren's exclusive YouTube video to be used alongside the pattern instructions.

She shares her hints and tips getting a really lovely finish on your garment including working with a nap in the fabric, fitting guidance, sewing a button fly, getting neat top stitching, an alternative way to construct the waistband and much more.

The video has over 35 minutes of footage, sectioned out with time stamps/chapters for easy reference and navigation.

The link to the video will be contained in your order confirmation email along with the pdf files, please please file this safely for future reference. You can also access the video links and PDF files when logged into the website.

This pattern is aimed at advanced dressmakers and construction is fairly straightforward. Even the button fly is simple and arguably easier than a zip fly. As they are designed to be fitted around the waist and hips, you may want to toile the garment first using calico or other similar non-stretch fabric to master the fit before cutting into your kit fabric.

To complete this project successfully you'll need a regular sewing machine along with Lauren's essential recommended sewing tools.

An Overlocker is useful for finishing off the seam allowances but is not essential.
