blog:FreeSewing 4.3 adds our new Percy design
FreeSewing v4.3 has been released, and with it comes a new design: Percy.
Percy Puffy Pants
Percy is a FreeSewing pattern for fall-front puffy shorts designed by Gawain who had the following to say about it:
I wanted a pair of shorts that had a fall front with a double row of buttons, a front pleat, and a flared bottom edge gathered down into a cuff. So I made one!
The front construction is a simplified, not-especially-accurate rendition of the fall front breeches common in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Most modern interpretations of this style have ornamental buttons and an elastic waistband or a hidden side zipper, but I wanted these ones to be real.
This pattern can be short or long, flared or unflared, and cuffed or uncuffed, so you can produce quite a wide variety of different pants. Only the fall front construction and the pockets are non-optional.
