## Designer Notes {#notes}
|
|
|
|
I made these because I wanted trousers to wear that were comfortable yet still
|
|
stylish.
|
|
|
|
They have pockets in the side seams, making this a relatively simple make for
|
|
trousers.

## What You Need {#needs}
|
|
|
|
To make Paco, you will need the following:
|
|
|
|
- [Basic sewing supplies](/docs/sewing/basic-sewing-supplies)
|
|
- About 1.25 meters (1.4 yards) (depending on your height) of a suitable fabric
|
|
([see Fabric options](#fabric))
|
|
- 30cm (12") of lining for the pocket bags
|
|
- A little bit of interfacing for the pocket welts (only needed if you opted
|
|
for back pockets)
|
|
- A drawstring and two eyelets (optional)
|
|
- Enough wide flat elastic for your waist and cuffs
|
|
|
|
## Fabric Options {#fabric}
|
|
|
|
These work best in a lighter fabric with relatively good drape.
|
|
|
|
A light cotton, or chambray are particularly well-suited.
|
|
Rayon or jersey will work too, but will give it a more casual-look.
|
|
|
|
For the opposite effect, less casual and more style, you can consider a silk
|
|
blend or light wool.
|
|
|
|
:::tip Some things to avoid
|
|
|
|
Resist the temptation to make these in linen.
|
|
While linen is the go-to for hot summer days, I would not recommend it for these pants
|
|
as they come with an elasticated waist/cuffs, which means wrinkle hell.
|
|
Use one of out other designs with a fitted waist if you want linen pants.
|
|
|
|
Also avoid picking a fabric with a lot of stretch, for it will complicate
|
|
matters when you're installing the elastic.

## Cutting Instructions {#cutting}
|
|
|
|
:::tip Cut out only what you need
|
|
|
|
Depending on the choices you made in your pattern, you may not need all parts.
|
|
If a pattern part is not printed, it means you don't need it.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
- From your main fabric:
|
|
- 2x **part 1**: This is the back panel. Cut these from your **main fabric**
|
|
with _good sides together_
|
|
- 2x **part 2**: This is the front panel. Cut these from your **main fabric**
|
|
with _good sides together_
|
|
- 1x **part 3**: This is the waistband. Cut it from your **main fabric**
|
|
- 2x **part 4**: This is the ankle cuff. Cut these, from your **main fabric**
|
|
with _good sides together_ (not needed if your chose not to have an
|
|
elasticated hem)
|
|
- 2x **part 7**: This is the back pocket welt. Cut 2 of these from your
|
|
**main fabric** with _good sides together_
|
|
- From your lining fabric:
|
|
- 2x **part 5**: This is the front pocket bag. Cut these, from your **lining
|
|
fabric** _on the fold_ (not needed if you chose to not have front pockets)
|
|
- 2x **part 6**: This is the back pocket bag. Cut 2 of these from your
|
|
**lining fabric** _on the fold_
|
|
- From interfacing:

|
|
from **interfacing**
|
|
|
|
:::warning Caveats

- There is no seam allowance on the interfacing
|
|
- There is extra seam allowance on the waist band and hem
