The Pull on trousers have a normal waist and wide, full-length legs. The waistband, which is a regular elastic band that is pulled through the waistband, simplifies the fit and makes them well-cut on many. You can choose to sew them with or without pockets and a side stripe.
The pattern is divided in three different variants, so you can develop your sewing skills as you get more experienced if you are a complete beginner. Starting with the easiest possible trouser ( Trouser No 1 – with no pocket or side strip) and adding a pocket (Trouser No 2 – with pocket) and finally adding a side strip (Trouser No 3 – with pocket & side strip). For even more effect you can use a second-coloured fabric for your side stripe.
