How to sew Kévin pants

Introducing Kevin, the simple pant/paréo embellished with a bow on the front. Hidden darts are found on each leg to shape the buttocks and support the tummy, and patch pockets on the back keep your belongings close at hand. The invisible zip hidden under the bow on the side of the leg keeps the line streamlined. Flared legs flatter the silhouette. 

For this project, we anticipated making Kévin with the Liberté top arriving in August, and decided to make the ensemble in a soft viscose/linen fabric found at Coupons Saint-Pierre. This fabric is ideal for summer, but there's nothing to stop you experimenting with different materials, as these pants will lend themselves to many variations. 

Kévin is a close-fitting pant, so you'll need to choose your size according to your hip size. If you have a small waist, we recommend that you make a 30cm-long mock-up of the top of the pants and see if you need to deepen the darts or curve the top of the side seams to tighten the waist.

To sew Kévin, you'll need :
-2m60 for a width of 1m40 or 3m for a width of 1m10,
a 25cm-long invisible zip,
-50cm of fusible webbing for interior trim and knot if required.

We'll be back at the end of August with the Liberté model, which will be available in 3 versions: crop-top, tunic or dress!
