Named Patterns - Aulio Elastic Waist Shorts | Pants NEW

About Aulio

The Aulio pattern includes two simple options: casual shorts and classic wide-leg trousers. Both variations have a high elasticated waist with a cord casing. These timeless garments are quick and easy to sew, but comfy to wear for years to come! They are suitable for beginners and as a first trouser pattern.

The Fabric

For both variations, choose either a light or medium-weight fabric, preferably drapey or with a slight drape. Good options include, for example: viscose challis and crepe, cotton lawn, or washed linen. You can buy ready-made cord for the drawstring, or sew a cord from your own fabric. Cord sewing instructions are included in the pattern.
The fabric requirements include a 5% allowance for shrinkage. Note that the fabric consumption may be greater for fabrics with a pattern and for fabrics that need to be cut in one direction.

The Notions

•    Fusible interfacing, 30 cm (1/4”)
•    2 cm (3/4”) elastic, your waist measurement
•    (Cord for drawstring, your waist measurement + 80 cm/ 32”)*

* Use a premade cord for the drawstring, or make one from your fabric.

Sizing

This pattern comes with plenty of ease. Check the finished measurements for your size and, if necessary, select a size smaller than usually if you want the garment to be more fitted.

The size range is:  XS-XXL
