59-3 CITÉ Elegant bermuda pants with crease in the front

Bermu da shorts that look right at the office and just as right over dinner on the terrace. Pleats at the waist give ease across the hip, while the pressed crease lengthens the leg and turns a pair of shorts into a tailored garment. Slant pockets at the front, a neatly finished piped pocket with a button at the back, a waistband with belt loops and a concealed zipper complete the look.

The instructions walk you through every classic trouser technique, from the piped pocket and the zipper fly to the inner waistband . Along the way Evi shares her workroom shortcuts, including why she inserts the zipper at the very beginning rather than at the end. Everything can be sewn on an ordinary domestic sewing machine.
