Buy the Christophine Trousers and Shorts sewing pattern from I AM Patterns. I am Christophine, a contemporary trouser inspired by the classic jodhpur. With a slightly dropped crotch and generous ease around the hips, my cut offers both comfort and modern flair.

I feature front pleats, slanted side pockets, and patch pockets at the back. My waistband includes a subtle decorative detail at the back with a tightening tab, and wide, pointy belt loops for a distinctive finish.

I fasten with a traditional fly and come in three lengths to suit your style: full length trousers, Bermuda shorts, and shorts.
