The Design Story of the Mitchell Trousers | Closet Core Patterns

There was so much design development and thought that went into the Mitchell Trousers that we filmed a conversation between Heather and Céline about where we started and where we ended up.

It's so helpful to hear the story of the development and features of the design. I'm curious to see them on different bodies! Thanks for sharing!

[@closetcorepatterns]

Thank you for your support!

[@LizzlebyDesign]

This was a great idea to share some background into the making of the pattern and options! I love Pietra and think this will be my new favorite pant!!

[@heathermyers2763]

[@cleow]

[@cherriesnhoney]

[@kiwaniallen3161]

Love the look of the pattern. Can’t wait to try it but can you talk about your striped shirt please?! I love it. Off the shoulder, so speak and cute. Need that pattern too. Ox

It's our Nettie bodysuit and dress pattern!

[@HilaryGreen]

Wow, nice trouser, I just ordered it!

[@closetcorepatterns]

Thank you! Would love to see pictures when you make them 😊

[@katherinebrockhoff8476]

Looking forward to making these beauties. They look timeless and good for several pieces of my stash. And maybe a new one from Core Fabrics (ssshhh)

[@sewsarahstitch]

Love them, eagerly awaiting my paper pattern in the UK ❤

[@edinacole6382]

Great design! Thank you

LOVE them! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@closetcorepatterns]

Glad you love them!

[@annfhallahan4347]

Looks a lovely pattern. Would it emphasise a rounded tummy?

[@mdb6894]

Love these pants! I especially like the little belts on each sides. It's simple and yet it adds originality. I was wondering if there would be a tutorial on how to make it sit on the hips? I have a non-binary friend I would like to sew for, but all the patterns are sitting at the waist which is something they want to avoid. Keep it up with your great work!

[@closetcorepatterns]

We have a tutorial coming for common fit adjustments for Mitchell!

[@atrinka1]

Great video! I can't wait for the next videos about fabric and construction. One question: the design is made for what height? I mean, what's your standard height? I'm petite and I need alterations in this area. Thanks!

[@closetcorepatterns]

Hi Raquel, All of our patterns are drafted for a height of 5ft 6"

[@atrinka1]

@@closetcorepatterns Thank you!

[@djsiminoff]

IN LOVE WITH THESE My Pietra fit perfect without alterations, I found that the half elastic really accommodated my swayback. I'm confident that the crotch seam will carry over to the Mitchell, but do you think that I will need a swayback adjustment on the back of these? Or should the back dart cover it?

[@closetcorepatterns]

Every body is different, and while the block we use for Mitchell is the same as for Pietra, you will need to make a muslin to answer this question.

[@SplitScreenSamba]

This is such a lovely pattern, absolutely gorgeous! Do you think it would be possible to make it for a man also, or are there any adjustments that would need to be made/do you think it wouldn't work?

[@closetcorepatterns]

It is possible! We have a post coming on fit adjustments for Mitchell!

[@sosewmad]

Love these! Could they be made in a stretch denim, say 2% stretch?

[@closetcorepatterns]

They definitely could be made in a 2% stretch denim!

[@denisedyer7581]

Very nice trouser. Can you tell me the pattern used for Celine's top? So pretty in pink.

[@closetcorepatterns]

Hi Denise, Celine is wearing our Cielo top pattern 😊

[@juliabouy]

Can you make a pattern like the top you are wearing

[@closetcorepatterns]

Yes! Heather's top is our Nettie bodysuit and dress pattern. Céline is wearing our Cielo top pattern both patterns are available in our shop!
