Making these Owyn Pants was a better experience for me this time and it has a lot to do with my choice of fabric – a lightweight denim which feels like linen – so lovely! These pants are simple and tapered with a flat-fronted waist and side/back waist elastic.
My first Owyn Pants were made in wool/polyester blend (because it was Winter) and the length is a bit shorter. I really like these denim pants a lotta!
It is important to note that on the pattern (in Everyday Style book – I recommend it), the end of the pants leg is on a different page to the main pants.
I have changed my mind on the tapered leg. Making the pants in denim has made all the difference. I am so glad that I revisited this pattern and used a nicer fabric.
The book recommends using a mid-weight cotton or linen. These pants are perfect for the summer and I shall be taking them on holiday to Norway!
Are you making any garments for your holidays?
Those are ace! I bet you’re going to get sooo much wear from them. xxx
