The Aulio pattern includes two simple options: casual shorts and classic wide-leg trousers. Both variations have a high elasticated waist with a cord casing. These timeless garments are quick and easy to sew, but comfy to wear for years to come! They are suitable for beginners and as a first trouser pattern.
