This sewing project is a collab with @ShannonMakes and we are making a vintage 1940's pattern for Hepburn Trousers! Since mine need to be plus size, I had to grade the pattern up a lot to fit my measurements so I decided to make a wearable mock-up. I had a lot of fun delving into vintage style and this was my first time making 1940s pants! Thank you for joining me here on costube for my plus sized historical costuming and sewing adventures!
