Check the length before cutting

Before cutting your fabric, we recommend checking which trouser length you want to sew. The Ines pattern is drafted with extra length—even though it’s a 7/8 style—so there is enough length for different heights and preferences. Hold the pattern pieces up to your body (or compare them with a pair of trousers you like the length of) and shorten to your preferred length before cutting the fabric.

You will need for the Ines trousers

• 2 buttons 12 mm

•  1.5m fusible tape with reinforcement threads, 3 cm wide

• 3 cm wide elastic band

How to press the interfacing tape:
Place the tape on the wrong side of the outer fabric with the adhesive side facing down. Cover with a damp cloth and press with the iron for about 12 seconds – without sliding. You can also use the steam function.

Seam allowance.
Your pattern includes 1 cm seam allowance

Grainline.
The grainline is important. The arrow on the pattern piece must always be parallel to the selvage to ensure correct placement on the fabric.

Notches.
Remember to cut the small notches according to the markings on the pattern pieces.

Stitch length.
Sew the blouse together with a stitch length of 2.5 (9 stitches per 2 cm).
For topstitching, use a stitch length of 3.

Explanation of symbols in the pattern

In this pattern, different symbols are used to clearly indicate which pieces should be cut in fabric, lining, and interfacing.

There is also a symbol showing which pattern pieces should be placed on the fold of the fabric, as well as notches that help you align the pieces correctly.

Follow the symbols carefully for the best result.
