Pattern instructions are clear and I like the allegros on other people but I’m still up in the air on the pair I made. I’m not usually a fan of elastic waistbands.

I used this pattern to recreate a RTW pair of linen capris that I had seen and absolutely adored…this pattern exceed my expectations! I made a muslin and learned that I needed to add a bit to the crotch curve to accommodate my back crotch, but other than that, no adjustments needed! The instructions were easy to follow and I love the end result. I’m planning on making more for this summer (and I might try hacking a drawstring at the bottom for an even more casual look).

Such a nice pattern. Since we are in spring here in NZ, I made a pair of shorts. We have a long summer here, i’ll be wearing them until May. I’ve started on a second pair in linen and after this I intend to make at least 2 of the skirts by the end of the week. Great value as i’ll get a lot of use out of this pattern.

The Allegro pattern was the first time I tried making bottoms and they came out great. I have a short rise and it is so nice to have shorts that finally fit! I made 3 pair of shorts with Cotton Spandex jersey that I paired with the Summer Basics Tank for PJ’s and another pair of shorts in light-weight denim (added a fun cotton print for the waist band and pockets). LN patterns are always well drafted, have clear instructions and offer a lot of options!

The Allegro was my first pants/shorts pattern. It was easy to modify for being short yet high waisted after watching Karina Trinidad’s easy pants series on her channel Lifting Pins and Needles. I’ve only made 3 shorts and a capri so far but finally having something fit correctly has me itching to make linen pants. After making the Summer Caye shorts (love them too), I hacked my next Allegros to have the flat front/ elasticated back and it turned out great!

I love this pattern. I’ve finished my “wearable muslin” a full length trouser in grey linen. I am so pleased with them and immediately cut out the cropped length in red linen: from just 2 mètres of fabric I have the cropped trousers AND a short sleeved Cadance top to match. I may add some machine embroidery on the hem of the sleeves and the bottom of the cropped legs.
If I was a child, you’d say I was playing nicely.

This pattern is such a bargain, I don’t know why everybody doesn’t have it! Two lengths of skirts, two lengths of shorts and pants that can also be capri’s if you search the blog. Plus there is a Allegro Sew Along to help you out. As a beginner, I struggled a bit with the pockets, I got them done in the end, but a few more pictures on the Sew Along would have really helped.
So far I’ve only managed to sew up the long skirt, but I have linen purchased and washed to make some capri pants for the summer.

What a fabulous pattern! I’ve made two pairs of the pants and am so in love with wearing them. I used linen blends and followed the well-written pattern easily.

I might make a third pair in a different fabric!

This is everything I want in a woven pant pattern, and bonus, it has an amazing skirt option too. This pattern is so good for summer.

Have made this pattern a few times and love the versatility! My favorite version is a striped skirt to match a striped love notions tee….easy separates or a a faux dress!

Very easy sew, this was my first pants pattern from Love Notions and it was perfect. I made this with a linen rayon blend and they were fantastic.

First woven pants I’ve ever made for myself and I love the skirt option too!

My favorite pants. I have made at least 8 pairs so far. All have been capri length. I used various fabrics including linen, cotton, polyester, and blends. The pattern works great in regular or stretch woven fabrics or firm knits. For one variation, I used denim and decorated the back pockets with embroidery.

What a great pattern! I have only made the pants so far, and they are among my favorites. I look forward to sewing more pants and also trying the skirts when warmer weather comes again.
