The Assembly Line • Almost Long Trousers Sewing Pattern Review
Posted on March 08, 2025
I've made the Almost Long Trousers sewing pattern by The Assembly Line a few times now and every time I've really enjoyed the process of making them.
Suitable for beginners, they're a great style for your time sewing trousers. They're a pull on style with an elasticated waist so there's not zip or buttons to worry about. Plus the instructions are really clear and easy to follow.
These trousers have a relaxed fit, they're positioned at the lower waist with a dropped crotch and are really flattering to wear.
The leg tapers towards the ankle, and both the waistband and bottom cuffs are elasticated. These trousers also feature in-seam pockets.
Attention to detail and interesting design details are signature features of The Assembly Line sewing patterns. One of the details that I really love with this pattern is the flat section at the front where the elastic is stitched before it's stretched to prevent it from gathering to create a more flattering silhouette.
Easy to wear, they're a style that you're sure to return to again and again. I made this latest pair in the Kora Corduroy by Mind the MAKER inspired by a similar ready-to-wear style by All Saints.
I lengthened this pair slightly for winter. I've also seen them lengthened without the cuff which works well too. For summer I'm planning to make a pair in the Laundered Linen by Merchant and Mills.
