Medium-weight fabrics such as cotton, linen, denim, and blends work well. Consider the drape and weight of the fabric based on the desired look.
How do I choose the correct size?

Can I adjust the length of the trousers?
Yes, you can easily adjust the length by adding or subtracting from the hemline. Check the pattern instructions for details.
What is a muslin?
