Description

The Aulio sewing pattern offers two effortlessly stylish options: casual shorts and classic wide-leg trousers. Both designs feature a high elasticated waist with a cord casing for a comfortable, adjustable fit. These timeless pieces are quick and easy to sew, making them a great choice for beginners or as a first trouser pattern. Designed for long-lasting comfort, they’ll become a staple in any handmade wardrobe.

Recommended Fabric

For both variations, select a light- to medium-weight fabric, ideally with some drape for the best fit and movement. Recommended fabrics include viscose challis, crepe, cotton lawn, and washed linen. You can use ready-made cord for the drawstring or sew your own using the included instructions in the pattern.

The fabric requirements allow for a 5% shrinkage margin. Keep in mind that you may need extra fabric if working with patterned designs or fabrics that require single-direction cutting.
