You can search instagram for customer makes with the hashtag #msworkertrousers 

Skill level: Intermediate (you will need extra focus for the fly area)

Construction techniques include concealed button fly or zip fly with binding detailing, side pockets, patch pockets, flat felled seam, and waistband & belt loops.

Sizing: Sizes XS2 - XL3 (with PDF Layers) 

The Worker Trousers are a roomy and generous cut that should sit comfortably on the waist, feel slightly more roomy on the hips and even more roomy around the thighs. 

See photos for sizing guide and finished garment measurements. 

Suitable fabrics: The Worker Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer and the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit. Before you start check you can easily sew through 5 layers of your chosen fabric. 

Fabric requirements: Modern Sewing Co.'s lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
