The best part of this pattern is the pockets! They take some time and care, but they are drafted perfectly and really add to the vintage look.
Shaina Mack –
This pattern is wonderful! I made the shorts version with welt pockets. It was my first time making welt pockets and first time making a pair of woven fitted bottoms but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I love these shorts and will definitely be making more of them!

Great pattern easy to follow step by step.

Such a classic design with with a vintage look. All pattern pieces came together perfectly with a simplified perfect construction method, with true finished garment measurements. I learned how to construct a welt pocket and fell inlove with the end result. I love my vintage Trousers, my first ever fitted trouser. I will definitely be making more of these trousers. RP you did it again, such a classic design with with a vintage look.

I was greatly intimidated by this pattern, but I went for it anyways, and I really liked the final product!! They’re a fitted style and honestly I’ve never had pants fit quite right but this fit pretty well, I’m impressed!!
Angel Pooley –
I love this pattern. The first time doing a welt pocket and the instructions made it so much easier to understand! Only the second time doing an invisible zipper too! Thanks!

Fab pattern, measured at the lowest end of the sizing (actually between M and L but still fitted well without adjustments.
Lisa Giorcelli –
I made the shorts version and they are awesome! They are super flattering to my mum-tum and soo comfy! The fit was spot-on, all I had to do was add a tiny amount to the front rise for my personal fit. I will definitely be making more of these!
Stephanie Carnovale –
These pants have the most flattering fit. I have made 2 so far but my daughters have put in orders for more of them. They look really classy
Deb Carpenter –
I made the shorts version of the Vintage Trousers as I was in desperate need of shorts for the warmer months. I made the shorts in 100% cotton fabric, size XL throughout.
I’m so pleased with the finished garment! The fit is amazing with no modifications necessary to the pattern (for me), they literally fitted ‘straight out of the packet’
I was a little intimidated by the invisible zip as although I’m a seasoned sewsita, I have a hatred for invisible zips. I needn’t have worried – I followed the instructions to the letter and this is the best invisible zip I’ve ever installed.
I’ve made the Pippa Pants previously, again without any fitting modifications to the pattern, so I believe I’ve found my perfect pants/trouser pattern company. There will be more!
Thank you Rebecca Page Patterns! “

I really like this pattern. I made some work trousers from suiting fabric. I did read reviews first from other readers and due to my being 5 foot 7 inches tall ( 170cm) I added 3cm to the length. This came out as perfect for me. I will be using the pattern again.

Super quick super simple pattern that yields a classy, beautiful, and timeless garment that is sure to wow!
Jennifer Lichak –
These are the new trend in shorts! Featuring a high waist, indivisible zip, optional welt pockets and wide legs. Flattering and trendy!!
Tania Watson –
The finish of these trousers are great. Perfect for someone to advance their sewing skills with invisible zip and the option of welt pockets.
Luana Furlanetto –
I made the short version of these trousers. I really like the final result and how flattering they are. Although we are talking about pants, it doesn’t take very long to put them together. I think the most difficult part for me was having the print matching. It would have take me way less time if I would have picked a solid fabric.
Jenny Gomez –
I love that the fit includes how to measure and adjust the rise. This is the best fit I’ve ever gotten because I’m so tall!
Emily Anderson –
I like my new shorts! The fit is great, and the welt pockets are fun. As it was my first time doing welt pockets, I did have a bit of difficulty with them, but I think they turned out alright. I think that they might look and lie better if they were parallel with the waistband. The option for single welts would be nice too! Overall, I think this is a great pattern, and I can’t wait to make another pair!
Robin Foote –
You have such thorough explanations of terms, methods, etc even as an experienced sewist I learn from your instructions.
Cassandra Morris –
Super comfy and chic – you can’t go wrong with these trousers! Well worth the effort to tailor them to the perfect fit.
