The Helicopter Top and Trousers are super-quick and easy to make with no side seams. Tuck the top into the trousers to give the illusion of an all-in-one! A versatile pattern to make again and again in all types of fabrics.
FIT
The Helicopter Trousers have pleats at the front and minimal gathers at the back give to give a sleek look without the need for a zip. The Helicopter Top is a simple shell design, slightly fitted through the bust and hanging loose at the waist. Bust darts ensure no baggy armholes!
VARIATIONS
Shorten the trousers to make nice wide shorts or culottes.
LEVEL
Easy for beginners, quick for the more experienced.
From floaty georgette to crisp linen, soft cotton to slinky silk/viscose velvet, this pattern makes up well in all sorts of fabric. Once you make one you'll want lots more for every season and occasion!
