This is my take on McCalls 8085 and the fabric was gifted from Minerva.com,  you can order both fabric and pattern direct from them by reading my post on this link Navy Crepe textured knit fabric and patterndetails

The fabric is very flowing and drapes well. It lends itself very nicely to tops, dresses and skirts.

Sew Over It Zoe Dress with The Ultimate Trousers update

 I was gifted this fabric from minerva and I knew instantly what I wanted to make with it.

Update.

I love these pants so much that I have recently made three more pairs.  Once you get the fit right these pants can be made in a flash.

If you have never made pants before do try these. Choose a heavy fabric with some stretch and you will be amazed.

The Sew Over It Zoe dress and Ultimate Trouser

The fabric is beautiful,  It is a Blue and Gold woven jacquard and the best thing is that it is reversible  Stretch Woven Jacquard

It is not heavy, more a medium weight and it has a very good drape

The pattern I used for the trousers is Sew over it Ultimate trouser
