Variations

• Invisible side zipper — no fly construction needed for easy sewing

• Timeless yet playful design that works across all seasons and styles
  

Level

Intermediate.

Without pockets, Paula is rated 2 dots out of 4. A great next-step project for ambitious beginners who want to level up their sewing skills. You'll learn how to sew pleats, darts, a shaped waistband, and an invisible side zip.

More advanced sewists will enjoy adding the optional side seam pockets and welt pockets for extra flair and challenge, 3 dots for this variant.

Fit

Paula has a high-rise waist with a shaped waistband for a perfect fit. She’s designed to be very roomy around the hips thanks to front pleats and tapers towards the ankle, with an extra dart at the hem to highlight her unique balloon shape. The waistband is non-stretch and closes with an invisible side zipper.

Choose from a full-length trouser or summer-ready short — both included in the pattern.

Fabric choice

• Works best with fabrics that balance structure and drape

• Ideal choices include thin jacquard, gabardine, seersucker, lyocell denim, heavier viscose, or cupro twill

• Structured fabrics emphasize the pleats for a more voluminous silhouette

• Drapey fabrics create a softer, closer fit along the leg

• Can also be made in knit fabrics like French terry — just stabilize the waistband and zipper area to remove stretch
