Welcome to Constructing Plain-Cut Trousers

Welcome to the Plain-Cut Trousers masterclass. Plain-cut trousers are the most basic cut of trousers, with straight, slightly tapered legs that require no ironwork and that are very easy to fit. Below you’ll find a list of necessary fabric and sewing supplies, as well as the contents for this project. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or problems you may have.
