Notes Stretch linen with mother or pearl buttons and contrast top stitching

Firstly, this calls for a stretch woven, not necessary, these are very roomy. I have tightened the elastic in the back and they are still inclined to fall down and I have a big tummy!

I made these for smart, beach wear and they fit the bill. They are super high, which is odd as the line drawing in low rise. The pattern sewed up nicely.

I French seamed the pocket bags and bound the fly seams for a little more structure.

Cute pattern that does the job but I am unlikely to sew these again for me.

That said, if you have a big bottom they would be great!

PS I shortened the leg by 30 cm.
