Customer Questions and Answers

F|S Team
We not expecting to have this fabric back at this time
hi- This picture appears to show a pocket... but the pattern does not! I would love to put some pockets in, should I just download another pattern?
F|S Team
Alexandra Pants dose not have a pockets. You can add pockets if you wish . We recommend to download side pockets from Cass pattern.
The site says this pattern comes in 0/2, but the actual pattern starts at 4. Where is the size chart? I don't see it on either the instructions or the pattern, which only shows the finished size. Thanks so much.
F|S Team
This is one of our earlier patterns which was released without a size chart and in limited sizes. If you would prefer a pattern in a smaller size, you might like to consider the Cass Culottes.
Will you be getting this fabric back in stock.? I love the color. I couldn't find it on the site to make these pants..
F|S Team
Apologies, We will not be restocking this fabric.
Does anybody have front view of these pants? The back view doesn't really help me see the style. Thanks!

Is this American sizing? As I'm in the uk and a size 16 so the size I should aim for is the 12/14?
F|S Team
Yes, this is US sizing. Please consult the size chart's measurements to find you best size as sizing isn't standardised across pattern and clothing brands co could vary.
What is the recommended ease on these pants, please? For instance, if I have a 38" hip circumference, would the size 4/6 have enough ease at 42"? Thank you!
F|S Team
This pattern is designed so that you select your size based on your desired finished garment size. So you can select your desired ease :)
Thanks, got it!
Where can i find the instructions?
F|S Team

What is the finished length? Thank you.
F|S Team
Hello, The length varies depending on the size selected. You can measure the length and adjust as needed by downloading the free pattern and assembling it.
Will you compare and contrast the Alexandra and Magda pants patterns for me please? I can't decide which to get.
F|S Team
The Alexandra have a straight cut with minimal tapering at the ankle and no side pockets. Magda has a slightly dropped crotch, tapered legs and a more exaggerated tapered leg shape due to the extra room at the waist. Magda comes with in-seam pockets. Both patterns are free downloads, so feel free to download and compare :)
I can't figure out this pattern

how many metres of 150cm fabric is needed please
F|S Team
There is a yardage chart included in the free download for this pattern, we estimate yardage based on our 55" wide linen which is close to 150cm
These are fast becoming my favourites, they're so comfortable and went together without a problem. The only thing I missed was that they were cropped, it wasn't until I laid the pattern out that I realised. Debated adding extra length but didn't bother, turns out my legs are short enough for these to be full length on me. Will definitely be making again, the only adjustment I will make will be to add a little bit more length in the back crotch seam. I usually add up to 5cm to prevent uncomfortable riding up when seated. Only need to add a couple of centimetres to these, they aren't uncomfortable I just l need to cover a scar on my lower back
These didn't take long to make, wore them for the rest of the day because they were so comfortable. The only alteration I will need to make in future will be to add a little length to the back crotch seam, it's been so long since I have made pants that I forgot that most patterns are too short. Half way through cutting when I realised I hadn't taken into account that these were cropped while I wanted full length. Turned out I didn't need to worry because the length was perfect for my short legs.
Loved this easy to follow pattern. I first made it in plain cotton just to test it as I am new to garment sewing. They fit perfectly!!!! I will now make them in a gorgeous linen.
I made these in IL0 19 Black. I loved how easy these were to make, and they looked great on while I was standing. When I sat down though......!!! I plan to make these again but alter them to fit since I need more "bottom" coverage when sitting. I've found a great tutorial to do this.
I used the il037 natural on this pattern, to make a roomy versatile pant, for gardening, sheep trending, child chasing, and an alternative to leggings under skirts and tunics. I made the 8/10 size with French seams which ended up a bit bulkier than I would like. I'll learn proper felling on my next pant project! Very pleased for my first pants.
I used the Kenya fabric for the Alexander Moroccan pants, they were fabulous.. I even added some self-drafted pockets I paired it with a Phoebe top using some natural linen I had in my stash. Both free patterns were easy to use.
Very pleased with how the elastic waist sits, i would be perfectly happy to wear these every day!
I made them with black crepe and added pockets.
Top and Moroccan pants in Fabrics-store Nine Iron. I added in-seam pockets. The flat front detail elevates this simple to sew design. The top is the LP Pullover of Paper Theory Patterns.
These were made with army green linen/cotton blend fabric. Love the way they look on, they are so flattering and so easy to make. I want to put patch pockets on the backside of my next pair.
Customised with high waist drawstring, turned up hems. Made these with heavy weight linen in natural softened.
Two patterns shown here, Chelsea top in size 4/6 which fit great and was easy to make. Moroccan pants in size 0/2 which were a bit large on me so had to alter legs a bit. Made in 'heavy' linen. Loved the patterns, clear instructions. Waiting on my medium weight linen to make another pair of pants and maybe a different top, maybe the same one. Thanks!
Made these again, with 041 Excalibur. I added 4' to length and cut the legs wider. The loose weave of the material made for blousey, soft pants I am in love with!
Thank you for the pattern and clear instructions. I love these pants and they were so easy to make.
