NH Patterns - Paper Sewing Pattern - Riviera Trousers
The Riviera Trousers by NH Patterns are a stylish trouser and shorts sewing pattern with a relaxed wide leg silhouette and elegant tailored details. Featuring full-length tucks through the leg, side seam pockets and an extra wide waistband, this versatile design also includes the option to add belt loops and a belt for a more polished finish.
This independent paper sewing pattern includes both trouser and shorts variations, making it a great choice for handmade summer wardrobes and everyday dressing. The Riviera style works beautifully in light to medium weight woven dressmaking fabrics such as linen, cotton twill, viscose, tencel and linen blends.
Suitable for intermediate sewists, this sewing pattern is a great project for building confidence with techniques such as sewing a fly front zip and constructing pockets. The detailed instructions make it approachable for confident advanced beginners looking to expand their skills.
Perfect for creating effortless wide leg trousers and tailored shorts with a modern relaxed feel.
