The culottes pattern with a twist: Sew a pair of culottes or palazzo pants in no time at all.
Perfect for casual outfits for any season: with the airy, swinging Djuna culottes, you can whip up elegant looks in a flash. And it's effortless: just combine with a slim-fitting top for a stunning effect.
The ultra-wide culottes with practical side seam pockets pair especially well with our Yule pointed-hem shirt, Fillis wrap shirt, or Luna top.
Your fabric choice determines how your culottes will turn out: a fine, smooth-draping viscose fabric makes Djuna a light summer piece that flows around your legs like a cool breeze. If you want your culottes to have more body and structure, you can sew them from linen, linen blends, or a lovely cotton fabric (pre-washed is best!). And the sewing process? A pleasure from start to finish!
