Monty Pant

So chic and fun to make!

These pants are such a joy to make, just the right amount of challenging and learned new techniques while having my hand held firmly by the clear and easy to follow instructions. The end result is a pair of pants that is a workhorse in my wardrobe. Chic enough for the office, comfortable enough to lounge in at home -- win/win!

Surprisingly easy sew!

If you like easy, elastic waisted pants, you will want to add this one to your collection! This is a surprisingly easy sew, with the easiest zipper insertion technique I've ever tried. My ONLY complaint about the pattern is if you want a less voluminous fit (as shown in the shorts version and the striped pants version on Instagram), you will need to do some serious tweaking and/or sizing down. I should have reached out to Chelsea for advice, but after lots of unpicking, I'm actually quite happy with how mine turned out (welt pockets included!)

Hunting for pants perfection

A really fun make with elements such as the waistband, back welt pockets with stitched detailing and of course that zip really kept me interested whilst teaching me some new construction techniques. Having finished my wearable toile of the Monty I really am in love. A perfect style/comfort fusion! The design is so unique it makes them feel elevated and special. My quest for the perfect pants is complete ✨
