Sew Over It Rosemary Trousers

Buy the Rosemary Trousers sewing pattern from Sew Over It. The Rosemary Trousers are that elusive pair of trousers that look smart and feel comfortable at the same time. The waistband is elasticated at the back and flat at the front. There are patch pockets at the back and roomy slanted pockets at the front, constructed with a waist stay on the inside to keep everything in place.

Version 1 features waist darts at the front and back, a curved front waistband, a stylish side button opening, a slim fit over the hips, and a regular hem. Version 2 has front darts only, a straight front waistband, no fastenings, a looser fit over the hips, and a turn-up hem. You can mix and match the front waistband and hem to create your perfect version.

Note if purchasing copy shop printing for sizes 18-30: Some of the pattern pieces have been split (to fit on the A0 sheets) and will need to be joined together.
