Skirt or shorts? Which team do you lean towards? The narrow short Agnes gets its comfort from the deep folds in the front. The narrow fit in the back is optimized with darts. The shaped waistband is set a little deeper, so you not only get a nice look, but also good wearing properties. These shorts definitely put your legs in focus.
Length = 37 - 45cm
Agnes was sewn from cotton in this pattern.
Required material:
We recommend cotton or linen.
Sizes 34-38
- Outer fabric 0.80 m (140 cm wide)
Sizes 40-44
- Outer fabric 1.00 m (140 cm wide)
Sizes 46-50
- Outer fabric 1.20 m (140 cm wide)
Sizes 34-50
- Seam ripper 1x 22 cm long
- Insert 0.70 m (90 cm wide)
- Fixing tape 1.20 m (1 cm wide)
cutting:
Cut out the pattern pieces from your fabric. Lay the selvedges parallel to the center so that you can place the outer and inner waistband on the inside and outside of the fold. The pattern pieces should all be face up. Always align the grain arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all the notches from the pattern through a 3mm long incision with scissors or chalk and mark the ends of the darts. Pinch the seam allowance in the fold of the fabric because this is always a center. It is best to first roughly cut all outer fabric parts that are completely covered with an interlining. After you have fixed the insert, cut it out exactly. There is also a video about gluing and fixing pattern pieces here.
You need from fabric:
- 2x front trousers in opposite directions
- 2x hind trousers in opposite directions
- 1x belt loops
also with insert:
- 1x outer waistband in front in break
- 1x outer waistband in the back break
- 1x inner waistband in front in break
- 1x inner waistband at the back in the break
Sewing instructions:
To sew these shorts you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, alternatively you can use the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to finish the raw edges.
You need the right sewing foot for your sewing machine to sew the seam zip. In addition to the description, the colored lines in the pictures show you where a seam needs to be sewn.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances that are not specially marked are 1 cm wide!
Happy sewing!
Glue an additional shaping tape to the upper edge of the inner waistband. The trouser parts are trimmed at the hem, at the side, crotch and inside leg seams.
A little tip: iron the hems 2x 1.5 cm and then unfold them again.
A simple, straight dart is closed and sewn on the wrong side of the fabric, snap by snap, tapering from the widest point to the tip
towards the center back. Place the snaps in the front trousers on top of each other and fix the contents of the folds close to the edge of the waistband.
Place the front trousers right sides together on the back trousers and close the side and inner leg seams with a 1.5 cm seam allowance. Iron the seam allowances apart.
Now close the inseam with a 1cm seam allowance and make sure that the inner leg seams meet exactly. Iron open the seam allowance of the inseam on the straight piece. In the curve she stands up.
Join the outer waistbands at the side seam and the inner waistbands right sides together. The left side seam remains open for the zipper.
Prepare the belt loops. To do this, neaten one of the long edges of the ribbon and first fold in the open edge by a third and then the neatened edge over it. Stitch the ribbon just under the edge on both sides and cut four eyelets of the same length.
Sew the outer waistband to the pants with a 1cm seam allowance and include the four belt loops. You get the position of the eyelets from the snaps in the waistband, make sure that they are on the right side.
Here you can see a photo of the outside view.
Now we come to sewing in the concealed zipper in the left side seam up to the upper edge of the waistband. To do this, the sewing foot must first be replaced. Pin the right side of the zipper to the right side of the fabric. The zip begins at the seam line of the waistband, ie there is a seam allowance of 1 cm above it for sewing on the inner waistband without a zip. When sewing, fold down the teeth of the zipper and stitch the zipper very close.
Now pin the second side of the zipper and make sure that the waistband seam is the same height.
This is how the zipper should sit and close at the yellow arrows.
Sew the inner waistband to the outer waistband with a 1cm seam allowance and pay attention to the snaps.
At the ends near the zipper, the outer waistband rolls inwards because the inner waistband is slightly shorter.
The inner waistband is slightly shorter and does not reach the zipper. Stitch the upper edge of the waistband just under the edge.
Iron the lower edge of the inner waistband over 1cm and topstitch the waistband from the outside. Make sure you grab the inner waistband cleanly. Fold in the belt loops 1cm and sew them in the stitching line of the upper waistband edge.
Finally, the hem is stitched. Iron it down 2x 1.5cm if you haven't already done so at the beginning. Stitch the hem all the way around.
Your AGNES is ready!
