Named Clothing - PDF Sewing Pattern - AULIO Elastic Waist Shorts & Trousers

Looking for an easy first trouser project? The Aulio Shorts & Trousers PDF Sewing Pattern by Named Clothing includes two versatile styles: relaxed casual shorts and classic wide-leg trousers. Both designs feature a high elasticated waist with a drawstring cord casing, making them comfortable, easy to wear and simple to sew.

Designed with beginners in mind, Aulio is a great starting point if you're ready to move beyond simple tops and try making your own trousers. Both variations have a timeless, easy-to-style shape that works just as well for everyday outfits as it does for relaxed weekend dressing.

The shorts are a great option for warmer days, while the wide-leg trousers make a comfortable addition to your year-round wardrobe. The elasticated waistband gives you a flexible fit, with a drawstring for an adjustable finish.

Choose a lightweight or medium-weight woven fabric with a soft drape or a little fluidity. Viscose challis and crepe will give your trousers plenty of movement, while cotton lawn and washed linen offer a slightly more relaxed finish. You can use ready-made cord for the drawstring or make your own using your main fabric. The pattern includes instructions for sewing your own fabric cord, too.

Available in sizes XS–XXL, Aulio is a straightforward, beginner-friendly sewing pattern for making comfortable elasticated waist shorts and wide-leg trousers you'll reach for again and again.
