The Eve Trousers PDF sewing pattern by Merchant & Mills is a cropped trouser pattern with a slightly tapered leg and optional turn-ups. Designed to fit neatly at the waist and hips, Eve features a side zip, two back pockets and the option to create either pleats or darts at the waist seam.

For the UK 18–28 size range, elastic is inserted into the back of the waistband to improve comfort and fit while maintaining the clean, structured silhouette of the original design.

Sew Eve in cotton canvas, denim, twill or corduroy for a more structured look, or choose linen or a Tencel/linen blend for a softer, more relaxed silhouette.

Looking for UK sizes 6–18? The Eve Trousers PDF Sewing Pattern is also available in the standard size range.

All seam allowances are 1.5 cm (⅝") unless otherwise stated.
