The Isabella Trousers are the perfect project for a confident beginner looking to expand their sewing skills while creating a garment they'll wear again and again. Designed without buttons or zips, these stylish trousers offer a straightforward sewing experience while delivering a polished, contemporary finish.

The flat front waistband creates a neat, flattering silhouette, while the elasticated back waistband ensures all-day comfort and an easy fit. With a gently tapered leg and clean lines, Isabella works beautifully as part of both casual and smarter outfits. Sew them in linen for warm-weather dressing, lightweight denim or chambray for everyday wear, or explore fabrics such as cotton sateen, gabardine or wool crepe for a more tailored look.

Ciao Patterns are designed with clarity in mind. Each size is colour coded for easy tracing, while unique line styles ensure sizes remain easy to distinguish when printed in black and white.

Recommended Fabrics: Linen and linen blends, lightweight denim and chambray, cotton sateen, poplin, seersucker, Tencel, Lyocell twill, lightweight wool, gabardine, fine corduroy, ponte roma, wool crepe or bengaline.
