As we step into June, we're thrilled to unveil our newest addition to the "Featured Design" series: the Bow Patchwork Wide Leg Crop Trousers. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, our Bow Patchwork Wide Leg Crop Trousers boast a silhouette that effortlessly flatters every figure. The generous volume subtly curves at the sides, creating a shape that's both modern and timeless. What's more, we've included 2 side patch-pockets, integrated into the patchwork, for both style and functionality.

Comfort is key, and these trousers deliver in spades. Featuring an elasticated waistband, they ensure a snug yet flexible fit, allowing you to move with ease throughout your day.

Try one of our pattern Hacks

We made this version using a mixture of salvaged and remnant silk taffeta. Add some simple detailing with a gathered ruffle - inserted between the 5th / 6th row of patchwork on both trouser legs.. instructions on how to draft your own ruffle pattern are included in our simple hack sheet on the product listing. You can find more information on our post here.

Make it vintage

For this version we’ve combined some collected vintage textile swatches from a sample book, with various shades of blue linen studio offcuts, for a semi-random effect that makes the repeating bow-shaped patchwork in this design more subtle than in my original all-white version.

Delicate Statement Pieces

Add some 3D texture to your project with this simple ruffle technique - inserting a small ruffled trim (made from self-fabric) into each seam that surrounds a Bow-shape..

Here, we used a monochrome colour palate for the whole thing, keeping the design minimal whilst allowing some textural interest with the romantic mini-ruffles..
