Another pair of linen trousers has been added to the summer wardrobe. Back in January I made a pair of Burda trousers using some crisp cotton chino fabric and said at the time that I’d love to make a linen pair – well, I’ve made them! Pants 106 from February 2020 with the interesting seam detail on the front legs and the barrel shape has proved to be a pattern I like very much.
The linen is from Higgs and Higgs, chartreuse in colour and with some weight and body, it’s not a light linen, so it’s going to be perfect to wear as the weather cools down (not this week, with its 30 deg C offerings!) I think I jinxed the weather with my last post about cool September and thinking of warmer layers! This week, all I’ve wanted is a swimming pool and a lot of shade!
Back to the pattern – I made it with the same adjustments as the last time, but took it in at the waist in the side seams by 1cm each side. The waistband fits better now, so it was the right choice. As the fabric is a little thick and doesn’t have a smooth texture, I decided to cut the inner waistband pieces from a left over piece of Liberty lawn. The colours go together really well and it feels lovely against my skin.
There might possibly be another pair in the works for the winter – I have some lovely pieces of wool.

Another great pair!
Super cute! I just made another pair of linen trousers as well, thinking I will be able to layer them until at least November!🤞
Pop some tights underneath and you can go longer!😬
I love that pattern Anne, the detail on the legs are so cute. I just made a few pairs of linen pants, thinking that I will be able to layer them until at least November hopefully!!!
