Light to medium weight fabrics such as jersey, silk satin with elastane, double brushed poly, rayon spandex, bamboo spandex, modal etc. will give a lovely drape and swing.

  • Optional clear elastic - approximately 2 yards will be sufficient for all sizes.
  • Thread to match.
Tools
  • Sewing machine
  • Pins or clips
  • Scissors

    Fastest sew ever!

  2. Carol A Shaver –

    “What a fast sew! And COMFY?! YESSSS!! I’ve never worn culottes so I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I cut the shorts version so as not to use too much fabric if I didn’t like what these were. I LOVE THEM!! They are sleep shorts, but I wish I’d made them full length in a calm print for everyday! Thank you!

  3. Sarah Miller –

    This pattern is so very fast and easy! I made up a beautiful pair of culottes shorts with this pattern in less than an hour from start to finish! They came out super cute and I love them! I will be making more of these for summer! Super cute and on trend!

  4. Charlene Lee –

    Excellent pattern for beginners. I love how the pockets are attached without the extra stitching. Would love to make these in a woven fabric!

  5. Gabz Jefferson –

    This pattern is not only quick to sew but also a nice project for me to use my remnants. it is very easy to make and nice pattern for beginners. Plus, these short culottes are super cute.

  6. June Butchee –

    The Ladies Culottes are such a quick satisfying sew. They are even more fun to wear. They look like a skirt with the comfort of pants. I made mine with a rib knit and paired it with a Paris Party Top in stretch Gauze. The perfect Summer outfit.

  7. Aimee Lim –

    Super easy and fast sew! Suitable for first-timer with knit fabric. Not to mention very comfortable to wear!

  8. Donna Jones –

    These super flattering culottes whip up so quickly for instant gratification! I am NOT a quick sew-er, but I managed these in 1 hour from cutting to clothing. I did use my serger and sewing machine which does speed things up a bit. The finished item is possibly the most comfortable summerwear I now own. Its like wearing a skirt without the possibilities of wardrobe malfunctions or thigh chafe! And POCKETS. No need to say more.

  9. Aune Wood –

    An easy pants pattern that is perfect for spring and summer! Will be making more.

  10. Amelia Keating –

    What a fun pattern! So quick and simple, and I feel so fabulous in it. I don’t usually like shorter inseams, but this pattern is so fun and flirty, I think I’ll have to make one for every day of the week this summer!

  11. Deb Carpenter –

    A really quick and satisfying make! The pattern is beautifully drafted so that the shorts skim the hips and flare nicely, giving a lovely feminine silhouette.

  12. Katie Weatherly –

    Love this pattern. The culottes will make great loungewear.

  13. Nicki Hibbits –

    With only 4 pattern pieces, these comfortable culottes were easy to put together and didn’t take long to make. They can be styled for hanging out at home or an evening out with friends with the right fabric choice.

  14. Pam OFlynn –

    The Ladies Culottes pattern is so quick and easy! It takes longer to cut out than to sew. Multiple length options give you so many different looks. Comfy shorts, mid length for running around or full length for a wide skirt look! Love them!

  15. Cindy Matthijssen –

    Super beginner friendly pattern that sews up in no time! We love the fit and look of the culottes!

  16. Michele Axmaker Chapman –

    Easy to sew and comfy to wear. Always a bonus.

  17. Kel Jel –

    This was such a quick sew. I love that it has pockets. I’ve made the shorts length but can see many more in my future

  18. Adelle Pears –

    I never realised how much I loved culottes until now! They’re so lovely to wear and this is such a quick and easy sew, I can’t recommend it enough!

  19. Sarah Hopkins –

    A super quick fun pattern. I made the short length and I love the fact you get the coverage of shorts but it looks like a skirt. Super comfy, I can see me making more of these!

  20. Cheryl Schneider –

    I made the shorts version out of cotton lycra as I am in FL. The directions were very clear, a very easy pattern to cut out and put together. The fit is amazing. The drape in the crotch makes the shorts look like a skirt and not shorts. Really nicely done. With the top band they even stay up perfectly. Being able to add in pockets is always an excellent feature.

  21. Charlene Lee –

    Very quick and easy sew. They look very nice on and I love the way the pockets are added. Great short or long!

  22. Luana Furlanetto –

    This is such an easy sew! Perfect for beginners. I made the short version in rayon spandex, and I love how my shorts look like a skirt and are so comfortable.

  23. Kirsten Olson –

    These are so beautiful and I’m really happy with them. It took me less than 6 hours all together to make them (I’m slower) so these def qualify as a beginner pattern. The pictures are incredibly helpful and I’m already buying more fabric to make a pair for my Mom, who thankfully doesn’t look good in green, or I’d have trouble getting them back.

  24. Jenni Elizabeth Early –

    Such an awesome pattern!! It is as easy as sewing up a pair of leggings, but it looks so much more elegant. Use a lightweight fabric, and it will be perfect for summertime heat. Perfect for church. Perfect for date night. Perfect for all the time.

  25. Charlotte Keyworth –

    Really easy and quick to make pattern very easy to follow.

  26. Carmen Mills Brent –

    Quick and beautiful summer staple, with pockets! These culottes came together very easily and look amazing. I plan to make some others. I love that the shorts length looks like a skirt, so I can be comfortable in shorts but look more formal than workout shorts.

  27. Tina Marie Baber –

    I enjoyed making this pattern. The pattern is beginner friendly The pattern pieces are marked clearly, the instructions easy to read. This pattern took about 2 hours to make start to finish. I will be making several more pair in the shorts and the 3/4 length for summer. This is a fun and easy pattern to sew.

  28. Francisca Beitler –

    This pattern is so easy and quick to sew. I love it and I’ll make more of them for the summer.

  29. Glo Ban –

    Perfect for beginners! I love shorts so I can see myself making loads of these for the summer! I may even try the culottes at some point when it gets colder again. Nice and easy with only three pattern pieces so can be made in an afternoon!

  30. Jamie Adler –

    Such a quick addition to my wardrobe and a great fitting pair of summer Culottes!

  31. Vicky Hughes –

    I love this pattern! I have made the shorts & 3/4 length & think I may live in them for the summer. They are so comfy & flattering

  32. Mary Acosta –

    Easy sew and get wear.

  33. Pamela Munnerlyn –

    This was a very easy sew. I love the Paints and will be making more pairs of these paints.

  34. Samantha Carling –

    Super easy peasy. It came together so quickly. I love how comfortable they feel too. Only edit, if it is for beginners when noting to attach the front and back and serge. I worry some may not know if you mean serge A front and back together, or front and front or back and back. Otherwise perfect!

  35. Chiara Kruse –

    A very quick quick sew for a comfortable pair of short or pants. With a shaped waistband, the pants will skim your hips and fall in graceful to full legs. Depending on you fabric choice this is a pattern you can easily dress up or down.

  36. Liz Faber –

    These culottes are such a quick and easy sew that produces a super comfy pant! These will definitely be a staple in my wardrobe
