Description

The Makaio Trousers are a perfect beginner friendly, modern retro style trouser pattern. The trendy silhouette with a higher waist, pin-tuck front pleat, pockets and flared legs not only offers a comfortable pull on fit for every day, but also gives you a super modern look.
Our latest boxes contain everything you need to create your own look, we think the MAKAIO combines comfort and style in a unique way, dressed down with a sweatshirt and trainers or worn with boots and a blouse for work. wear them your way.
The pattern comes with different pockets to choose from, our sewing tutorial includes the front slant pockets.
You will learn to sew with stretch fabric, to sew pleats, sew darts and pockets and much more.

This pattern is recommended to be sewn using an elasticated knitted fabric. Due to our choice of a woven with elastane, the fabric does not have as much elasticity. We therefore recommend taking the next size up from the finished measurement chart. Slight adjustments to the waistband will be explained in the included sewing tutorial available in both English and German.
