The Tapioca Trousers are a high waisted and pleated trouser with a relaxed fit. They are designed to be comfortable around the waist and have generous ease throughout the hips and crotch. If you're unfamiliar with the term ease, you can think of it like the space between your body and the garment.
When designing them, the guiding words were dramatic, elegant, and wearable. I wanted something that was easy to wear and simple to style, while still bringing the drama in an effortlessly cool fashion.
This BEGINNER FRIENDLY sewing pattern is designed to help beginner sewists learn skills to become an intermediate sewist. You will learn how to sew a zipper fly, how to sew darts, how to sew a french seam, and how to stitch in the ditch.
