Peg Trousers - Merchant & Mills Sewing Pattern

Meet your new favourite pair of handmade trousers! This stylish peg-leg trouser pattern combines a flattering tapered silhouette with plenty of classic details. Featuring a traditional fly front, angled front pockets and turn-ups at the hem, these are a lovely alternative to your everyday trousers.

Designed to sit beautifully while offering a little structure, they're perfect for creating a versatile pair of trousers that can be dressed up or down. The front legs can also be half-lined when using wool fabrics, making them a great option for cooler-weather sewing.

Choose a structured fabric for a more defined shape or experiment with lighter fabrics for a softer, more relaxed finish.

✂️ Skill level: Intermediate

🧵 Fabric suggestions: Ideally suited to mid to heavyweight fabrics such as cotton canvas, 8oz organic sanded twill, corduroy, light to medium-weight wool and 7–10oz denim. Lighter-weight fabrics such as linen and Tencel/linen blends can also be used for a softer silhouette.
