It's barely into September and I'm already sewing for the season. This is my 2nd pair of Eve trousers. This time in 9oz utility canvas from M&M, the shade is called navy but it does say on the M&S website it is an aubergine colour, therefore perfect for Autumn vibes. I made a straight size 14 with no turnups and waist darts.

This is a great pattern and easy to follow, even the zip and zip guard (first time for me). I made them in a blue washed linen and I’m really pleased with the finished pants. They were easy to fit and I didn’t really make any changes, just shortened the rise slightly and the length as I’m only 5’3”. I’ve made 2 pairs up to now, the second pair in a cotton twill - will very probably make again as they are very comfortable to wear

This is my third M&M pattern and I found it true to size and a quick make. I hadn't made anything with a zip guard before but the instructions were easy to follow. I opted for front darts
I used some fabric from my local scrap shop. It wasn't labelled but it feels like a lightweight checked wool linen blend. I'm hoping they will become a staple in my autumn wardrobe

I bought the Whisper slippers pattern as intended to make some gifts for family. Even as an experienced sewer I found the instructions and all the layers confusing. I had also used remnants from my fabric stash as a way of using up and trying to mix and match in an interesting way. Sadly at the final stages it went badly wrong and couldn't be easily unpicked, and due to fabric choice both slippers ended up on the bin

I love love love the Eve Trousers from Merchant and Mills. These are the first pair of fitted waistband trousers that I have made. I was a little nervous about whether or not I was going to be able to get a good fit on these trousers as I have quite narrow hips and a rounder tummy which makes buying RTW trousers impossible! In the end I made two toiles, shortening the length at the leg and rise and grading between two sizes at the hips and waist. I found the instructions for inserting the lapped zip a bit confusing but I'd like to recommend and thank Sew Much Fun on youtube who have a video focussed just on this section which is really really helpful.
I have had loads of compliments on these trousers and I feel that they are the perfect classic fitted trouser shape. I feel very cool in them honestly they are an absolute wardrobe staple and I've worn them non stop. They have a bit of a Toast like look which is a brand I really love.
I made my first pair in a medium weight denim which was worn and washed really well. My second pair I made in a lighter jacquard which to be honest was a bit of a bad fabric choice on my part as I think these trousers really benefit from a bit of structure and look a bit shapeless when sewn in a lighter fabric. The other excellent thing is the fabric requirements are pretty low (under 2m) which is a factor I consider when selecting patterns.
Mainly, I recommend this as a great basic trouser that look very cool and contemporary.
