Thoughts on these? Hope this has inspired you to get over any 'trousers' fear' and to start sewing. I tell you, you won't regret it, they are so comfy! And now... for some fabric inspiration. One of the good things about the Cinnamon Trousers is that you can make a pair for the cold and for warm days as well.

For Autumn and Winter, we recommend medium weight woven fabrics like velvet, corduroy, tweed,
needlecord or babycord, fine wool, denim... You can also choose them with a bit of stretch, no more than 10 or a maximum of 20%. Here are some lovely examples we've found online:
