The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop? Note if purchasing copy shop printing: Some of the pattern pieces are divided across two A0 sheets. The A0 sheets will need to be joined with no overlap. Suggested fabrics: Rayon twill or crepe, Tencel/lyocell twill, linen, linen blend, cotton, lightweight wool, midweight wool, heavy wool, corduroy, denim, silk, satin. These trousers will have a completely different look depending on the fabric you choose. The designer recommends fabric with a good drape that doesn’t grow as you work with it or wear it. A light, drapey fabric will look lovely and flowy. A midweight cotton/linen will look relaxed and cool. Or you can choose a mid to heavyweight for a chic winter pant. If using a lightweight fabric, you can use your main fabric for the pocket lining.
