Carolina Culottes Sewing Pattern

The Carolina Culottes pattern offers a comfortable, easy-to-wear silhouette with thoughtful details that help create a polished finished garment. Designed with the confident beginner in mind, this printed paper pattern combines casual comfort with structure, making it a versatile choice for everyday wear or seasonal sewing projects.

With an elasticized back and flat front waistband, the design is intended to sit just above the hips for a flattering fit. The front pleat adds shape while allowing more room through the thigh area, and the side pockets are designed to lie flat without adding extra bulk. Two length variations give you the flexibility to sew either pants or shorts, depending on the fabric and the season.
