Buy the Culottes sewing pattern from The Avid Seamstress. Combining the swish factor of a skirt with the practicality of trousers, the Culottes are edgy, versatile and a wardrobe staple suitable for all seasons.
The Culottes feature a pleated detail, large in-seam pockets (designed to sit flat and not interrupt the silhouette), a fitted waistband, a concealed zipper at the back and a wide hem. Fancy going full length? Use the lengthen lines included to make a gorgeous pair of trousers.
