Singapore is a pants pattern that we wanted to be timeless, easy to make but still with character! Here are the different options for these pants:

  • 4 belt options: classic, paperbag, classic tie, paperbag tie
  • 3 leg options: shorts, straight pants, wide pants

The waistband is elasticated, and the pattern includes side pockets. Singapore also has the advantage of being able to be sewn in both woven and knitted fabrics. A basic that can be adapted endlessly!

Avana pants and shorts pattern

✂️ Difficulty level: easy to intermediate

Avana is a very versatile pattern. A mixed model, available in 4 lengths (long, 7/8, 3/4 and shorts), you can sew this pattern in an urban style (cargo pockets and belt with belt loops) or in a more nautical style (bridge pants style). You can also choose whether or not to sew removable suspenders. With its very trendy, slightly loose shape, this is a model that will appeal to both little ones and teenagers.
