The Modern Sewing Co. presents the Worker Trousers: the ultimate everyday trouser and their best selling pattern.

The Worker Trousers are supremely practical with hundreds of you saying they're your comfiest trousers yet. Designed to stand the test of time, you'll be using high end finishing techniques to create a really long lasting pair of trousers.

Features either a concealed button fly or zip fly with binding detailing, side pockets, patch pockets, flat felled seam, waistband & belt loops.

The Worker Trousers are slightly lower on the high waisted spectrum, sitting comfortably above the hip but not too high up the waist. They are cut to fit neatly on the body & hips and then flare slightly on the thigh and taper in again at the ankle.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Sizes: UK Sizes 4 - 28

Fabrics and Notions: The Worker Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer and the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit. Before you start check you can easily sew through 5 layers of your chosen fabric. 

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
