Today we have two fantastic members of the Advisors Circle joining us on the blog to share their latest sewing projects—Montauk Trousers. Camelia crafted hers using a playful lightweight denim, while Elisabeth went for a timeless army green twill, adding a touch of functionality with a cargo pocket. Let's hear what they have to say!

**Elisabeth’s Montauk Trousers**
Here they are—my Montauk Trousers! I opted for a mid-weight army green cotton twill because I wanted something versatile enough for everyday wear. This fabric isn’t as stiff as some other twills I’ve worked with, which gave it a nice drape that I loved. It’s just perfect for these trousers.
I chose View A with patch pockets and added a self-drafted cargo pocket. The design of the cargo pocket reminded me of the ones on Liesl + Co.’s Classic Shirt, so I referenced both their instructions and those from the Oliver + S Field Trip Cargo Pants to create mine.
The pattern was a breeze to sew, and I adore all the thoughtful details like the drawstring and the vents at the hem. Truth be told, I’ve always been hesitant to tackle pants before, but these were surprisingly approachable. I made an 8 at the waist, graded to a 10 at the hips, and added a full thigh adjustment. Later, I realized my calves were smaller compared to my thighs, so I narrowed them slightly to eliminate extra fabric. They turned out beautifully! I’m confident these trousers will become a staple in my wardrobe, and I’m already thinking about making a linen version for summer with elastic at the hems.

**Camelia’s Montauk Trousers**
Check out my Montauk Trousers! For this project, I selected a light stretch denim, though it’s technically labeled as chambray. It feels more like a blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex, giving it a soft, denim-like texture. Initially, I cut a size 8 based on the size chart, but after reviewing it again, I realized I should have gone with a size 6 at the hips. To adjust, I took the side seams in by 3/8†at the waist, gradually widening to 5/8†at the hem to achieve slimmer legs. Additionally, I shortened the front crotch length by 3/4†and reduced the leg length by about 3†for a cropped look.
Sewing this pattern was such a pleasure—it has clear instructions that made the process enjoyable. I’m particularly fond of the ruffled detail at the waist, and I’m excited to experiment with more variations in the future.
