ZERO WASTE SQUIGGLE TROUSERS PATTERN - DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
The most fun you’ll ever have making a Zero Waste Pattern! The Squiggle Trouser was born from the desire to design a pattern with ultimate flexibility and adjustability based on shapes, styling, and fit preferences. With this pattern base, you can put any linear shape as the focal point of these trousers!
This pattern is a template with which you can build your ultimate squiggle pant. A “choose your own adventure” of shapes and silhouettes. There are two base size options provided, with possibilities to increase and decrease the waist, hip, leg shape, and hem. We offer suggestions for grading up and down based on your preferred fit as well. What options you choose will directly relate to your fabric, of which there are suggested layouts for 38” (96.5 cm), 50”(127 cm).
Fabric suggestions - a mid to heavy cotton, linen, denim, wool; anything that will hold shape well and is suitable for a structured trouser. Double sided fabric is a bonus to highlight the negative space of the squiggle!
Currently available in sizes 0-36.
