→ To the pattern “Agnes”

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 the pattern pieces out of your fabric. Lay the selvedges parallel to the middle so that you can place the outer and inner waistband inside and outside in the fold. The pattern pieces should all lie face up. Always align the thread arrow in the same direction on all pieces and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all the clips from the pattern through a 3mm long incision with scissors or chalk and mark the ends of the darts. Clip the seam allowance in the fabric fold because this is always a center. It is best to roughly cut all outer fabric parts that will be completely covered with inserts first. After you have fixed the insert, cut it out exactly. There is also a video about gluing and fixing cut parts here.

What you need from fabric:

  • 2x front trousers opposite
  • 2x rear pants opposite
  • 1x belt eyelets

also with insert:

  • 1x outer waistband at the front in the break
  • 1x outer waistband at the back in the break
  • 1x inner waistband at the front in the 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, or alternatively the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to neaten the raw edges.

To sew the seam zipper you need the right sewing foot for your sewing machine. In addition to the description, the colorful 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 specifically marked are 1cm wide!

Have fun sewing!

Additionally, glue a form tape to the upper edge of the inner waistbands. The trouser parts are serged at the hem, side seam, crotch seam and inner leg seam.

A little tip: Iron the hems 2x 1.5cm now and then open them up again.

We start by sewing the darts. After transferring the pattern exactly and paying close attention to the marking, a simple, straight dart is closed and sewn on the left side of the fabric, clip by clip, tapering nicely from the widest point to the tip (so that the dart doesn't bag). Draw a line with tailor's chalk beforehand so that you don't sew too much or too little and the side seam is nice and straight.
So that you don't have to lock at the tip, you can sew the last centimeter with a very small stitch. Iron the contents of the dart towards the center back. Place the clips 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 pants right sides together on the back pants and close the side and inside leg seams with a 1.5cm seam allowance. Iron the seam allowances apart.

Now close the crotch seam with a 1cm seam allowance and make sure that the inside leg seams meet exactly. Iron apart the seam allowance of the crotch seam on the straight piece. In the curve it stands upwards.

Connect 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 the open edge in by a third and then fold the neatened edge over it. Stitch the edge of the ribbon on both sides and cut four eyelets of equal length from it.

Sew the outer waistband to the trousers with a 1cm seam allowance and include the four belt eyelets. You can find the position of the eyelets using the clips in the waistband, make sure you are on the right side.

Here you can see a photo of the outside view.

Now we come to sewing the hidden zipper in the left side seam up to the top edge of the waistband. To do this, the sewing foot must first be replaced. Pin the right side of the ripper to the right side of the fabric. The ripper starts at the seam line from the waistband, which means there is a seam allowance of 1cm above that for sewing on the inner waistband without the ripper. When sewing, fold the teeth of the zipper down and stitch the zipper very close.

Now pin the second side of the zipper and make sure the waistband seam is at the same height.

This is how the zipper should sit and end at the yellow arrows.

Sew the inner waistband to the outer waistband with a 1cm seam allowance and pay attention to the clips.

At the ends of 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 top edge of the waistband close to the edge.

Iron the bottom edge of the inner waistband 1cm and stitch the waistband from the outside. Make sure to grip the inner waistband cleanly. Fold in the belt eyelets 1cm and sew them into place in the stitching line of the top edge of the waistband.

Finally, the hem is stitched. Iron it 2x 1.5cm if you didn't do this at the beginning. Stitch the hem all around.

Your AGNES is ready!

Cut:

Cut the pattern pieces from your fabric. Lay the selvages parallel to the center so you can place outside, inside waistband inside and outside in fabric fold. The pattern pieces should all lie with the lettering facing up. Always align the threadline arrow in the same direction for all pieces and parallel to the selvage edge of the fabric. Transfer all the snips from the pattern by making a 3mm incision with scissors or chalk and mark the ends of the darts. Clip the seam allowance into the fabric fold, as this is always a center. All outer fabric pieces that will be completely covered with interlining are best cut roughly first. After you have fixed the interlining, cut them out exactly. Here is also a video about gluing and fixing pattern pieces.

You need fabric:

  • 2x front trousers opposite
  • 2x back pant opposite
  • 1x belt loops

also with interlining:

  • 1x outer waistband front in fabric fold
  • 1x outer waistband back in fabric fold

Sewing instructions:

To sew these shorts you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, alternatively use the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to neaten the cut edges.

For the processing of the seam zipper you need the appropriate presser foot for your sewing machine. The colored lines on the pictures show you in addition to the description, at which points a seam is to be sewn.

When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances that are not specially marked are 1cm wide!

Have fun sewing!

Additionally, glue an interlining tape to the upper edge of the inner waistband. The pants parts are serged at the hem, side seam, inseam and inside leg seam.

Small tip: Press the hems 2x 1.5cm and fold them back afterwards.

We start with sewing the darts. A simple, straight dart is closed and sewn on the left side of the fabric, clip by clip, from the widest point to the tip, tapered (so that the dart does not bag) , after the exact transfer of the pattern and paying close attention to the marking . Draw a line with the tailor's chalk beforehand so that you don't sew off too much or too little and the side seam finishes nice and straight.
So that you don't have to bar-tack at the top, you can sew the last centimeter with a very small stitch. Iron the dart contents to the center back. Place the notches in the front trousers on top of each other and fix the pleat contents just at the edge of the waistband.

Place the front pants right sides together on the back pant and close the side and inside leg seam with 1.5cm seam allowance. Press the seam allowances apart.

Now close the inseam with 1cm seam allowance and make sure that the inside leg seams meet exactly. Press the seam allowance of the inseam apart on the straight piece. In the rounding it stands upwards.

Join the outer waistband at the side seam, as well as the inner waistband right sides together. The left side seam remains open for the zipper.

Prepare the belt eyelets. To do this, serge one of the long edges of the ribbon and fold the open edge in thirds first, and then the serged edge. Topstitch the tape close to the edge on both sides and cut four eyelets of equal length.

Sew the outer waistband to the pants with a 1cm seam allowance, taking the four belt eyelets with it. You get the position of the eyelets by the notches in waistband, pay attention to the correct side.

Here you can see a photo of the exterior.

Now we come to sew the seam-covered zipper in the left side seam up to the top edge of the waistband. To do this, first change the presser foot. Pin the right side of the zipper to the right side of the fabric. The zipper starts at the seam line of waistband , ie there is still a seam allowance of 1cm above it for sewing the inner waistband without the zipper. When sewing, fold the teeth of the zipper down and stitch the zipper very close.

Now pin the second side of the zipper and make sure the waistband seam is the same height.

This is how the zip should sit and finish at the yellow arrows.

Sew the inside waistband to the outer waistband with a 1cm seam allowance and watch the notch.

At the ends at the zipper, the outer waistband rolls inward because the inside waistband is slightly shorter.

The inside waistband is slightly shorter and does not reach the zipper. Topstitch the upper edge of the waistband close to the edge.

Press the bottom edge of inside waistband 1cm and stitch the waistband from the outside. Make sure the inside waistband is neatly included. Fold in the belt eyelets 1cm and sew them in the stitching line of the upper waistband edge.

Finally, stitch the hem. Press it 2x 1.5cm, if you have not already done so at the beginning. Topstitch the hem all around.

Your AGNES is ready!
