Jackie Trousers Pattern Tester Roundup!

Our final pattern release of 2019 is one that has been a long time in the proverbial womb. Based on a vintage pair of trousers handed down to me by a family friend, the Jackie Trousers, to me represent the epitome of off duty eleganza. Conjuring up images of icons of the 30s and 40s such as Marlene Dietrich and Grace Kelly, yet also nodding to the slouchy menswear slacks of the 90s, the Jackie trousers are designed to be as comfortable as they are polished. Here's what our pattern testers had to say!

Here's Mady looking chic in her Jackie Trousers. "I really enjoyed sewing the Jackie trousers. It was something different from your usual style and I so in sync with my style. Next time I think, I will size down two sizes" If you want a more fitted look it's so easy to size down, no grading needed!

Lauren teamed up her Jackie with a matching crop top. I have to say I'm loving this look! "Loved the style of pants - looking forward to making lots of variations!"

Jeanine has styled her Jackies with a warm winter jumper for effortless casual chic! "It's the perfect trouser pattern! Classic lines, beautiful drape, looks professional with a touch of glamour. I want to make 6 more pairs so I can wear them every day! Incredibly comfortable, too."

Tasneem is so excited to be wearing her gorgeous plum coloured Jackies! Styled with trainers perfect for comfort and style. "The trousers sit nicely on the body and are exactly what I envisioned."

Once again and from the depths of our heart, thank you so so so very much to all of our wonderful testers for testing Jackie! Your eagle eyes, exceptional sewing prowess and patience is what helps us to take a pattern from 90 to 100! And thank you to everyone who has already bought and sewn Jackie!

    These remind me so much of the trousers Northern Soul dancers wore in the 70s! I’ve been looking for something similar for a while! Any tips?
