Description

The Aina sewing pattern offers two versatile options: classic ankle-length trousers and trendy culottes. Both styles feature a slightly tapered, lightly fitted cut with a high rise, fly zipper closure, and front and back pockets. The front waistband is finished with a decorative button closure, while the back waist has a relaxed elastic detail for added comfort and ease of fitting. The pattern also includes the option for decorative topstitching.
