PDF - Digital Pattern for children's trousers, shorts, overalls, and skirt Fauvette kids by Instinct Couture (size 2 to 12 years)

Fauvette is now available in a kids version! With its many variations, you will find the version that suits your child.
It is a wrap-style model, but in the kids version, the back waist is elasticated for easier dressing. The buttons are therefore decorative, no need to sew buttonholes!
You have the option to sew a wide leg trouser, a fitted cut up to mid-thigh then flared to create a nice movement at the bottom of the leg. It is also possible to sew a trouser with a more straight cut.
The short and skirt versions adapt as well to the summer season as to autumn/winter with a pair of tights.
False peasant pockets adorn the back of the model.
To add a bit of twist to your child's look, you can choose to sew a bib and braces for a overall effect. It is also possible to sew only the braces (straight or crossed at the back).

For these trousers, take into account the height and the hip circumference.
If the child is between two sizes, choose the size below.

Fauvette sizes relatively large. Use the finished garment measurement chart to help you choose the size according to the desired fit by comparing it to the child's trouser measurements.

The choice of fabric for the Fauvette model will mainly depend on the version you want to sew and the desired result. Some versions can be made in non-stretch fabrics, while others require some elasticity to ensure comfort. The wide leg trousers, shorts, and straight skirt can be made from non-stretch fabrics, but using a slightly stretchy fabric can improve comfort. For the straight cut trousers, it is essential that the fabric contains a small percentage of elastane (1 to 2%). In addition to elasticity, a wide range of materials and weaves can be considered: gabardine, denim, twill, velvet, linen, etc. For the lining (used for the under-flap and possibly pocket facings), an anti-static lining can be chosen, but scraps of fine fabric such as cotton poplin, viscose, or crepe can also be suitable.
