Sewing pattern description

The Recess Play Trousers sewing pattern by Matchy Matchy are your go-to, easy-fitting everyday trousers with plenty of room for comfort.

They feature an elasticated waistband, slanted front pockets, and optional back pocket(s). A centre front and back leg seam makes them perfect for patchwork fun. The rise sits just below the natural waist for a relaxed fit.

The sewing pattern is drafted as full-length, giving you the option to wear them as is or cuffed. You can also easily shorten them to ankle length or lengthen them as needed. View A includes a 2″ (5 cm) wide hem, while View B adds a bit of flair with an elasticated mini peplum cuff.

Like all Matchy Matchy sewing patterns, the Recess Play Trousers sewing pattern are designed with simple shapes and straightforward construction, making sewing feel approachable and enjoyable.

Chelsea (short hair) is 5’5″ and Morgan is 5’9″, both wearing a size small with no modifications.

Perfect for beginners – you’ll learn topstitching, how to sew slanted pockets, and how to create elastic casings for the waistband and cuff.
