Joanne Culottes

I had the absolute pleasure of testing Joanne, a 2-in-1 culottes and shorts pattern, for Ready to Sew in the lead up to it's release and I can definitely recommend it!

The PDF pattern is accompanied by a couple of cool click through features including tutorials and a sewing playlist. I selected a size 40 based on my full hip measurement and the advice given by the pattern (my waist measurement falls into a 42, but the elastic waistband is pretty forgiving) and the sizing came up just right!

The fabric requirements are given at 2m for the culottes (and only 1m for the shorts) but I had my heart absolutely set on using the 1.5m of mid-weight mustard cotton. Needless to say I made it work, but when I say it was a squeeze I really mean it.

The make itself was a real breeze and I managed all the cutting and sewing in just half a day. The pattern design is really simple, but it has some fun detailing to make it an interesting sew, particularly the topstitching around the curved patch pocket edge. Personally I love topstitching, but if it's not your bag, don't let that put you off! It's a great opportunity to learn or practice the technique and the pattern provides a clickable link to a topstitching tutorial to help.

Overall, the Joanne is a beautiful pattern that's both easy to sew and easy to wear (my culottes have had LOTS of wear) and I've just sewn up the shorts version too, which I can confirm turned out equally as great!
