Loulou is a slim pair of trousers that makes the legs look longer and is also easy to sew.

The Fauve detail is in the front pockets, with their geometric cut that you accentuate with piping. That is the difference between trousers that look homemade and those that look store-bought.

What you will master: placing piping in a corner, attaching the pockets, and installing a concealed zipper.

Which fabric do you need: gabardine, denim, Prince of Wales, lightweight wool, thicker viscose with body, or jacquard. Important: the pattern is calculated for fabric with some stretch. If your fabric does not contain elastane, take one size larger and be sure to check your thigh circumference.

Amount of fabric: 1.50 m by 140 cm wide.

Haberdashery: fusible interfacing for the waistband, 70 cm piping cord, a 22 cm concealed zipper, and 1 button of approximately 10 mm.

Sizes: 34 to 46
Difficulty level: average
Language: The pattern and instructions are in French, with an English translation. Seam allowance of 1 cm included, 2 cm at the hems.
