All Love Notions Sewing Patterns are digital downloads, you may print them at home or send to a copy shop. A physical pattern will not be mailed to you.
The Duet Trousers are truly a ‘duet’- they can be made from bottom-weight woven fabric AND stable knits! The trousers are mid-rise, sitting a couple inches below the navel. Two leg options are included- straight and tapered. The invisible side zipper allows this trouser pattern to work for a wider variety of fabric types. If using a stable knit the zipper can be eliminated and a yoga waistband is used instead. The front pockets feature a front panel that stretches across the abdomen so you can sneak a control panel in there if you wish. The back features darts to give you a flattering shape.

I love this pattern for a classic and refined look! The Duet Trousers are gorgeous and very appropriate for my business casual + office. I like that they have a modern silhouette, but not a “skinny” fit. I have made a few pairs for work using a ponte and a double-knit. I sewed up my normal size according to the fit chart, and I would definitely recommend using elastic in the waistband.

This is such a great pattern. I made it with a knit and can’t wait to try it with a woven.

These make me so happy! The workbook for fit that came with this helped me immensely to get the fit right. The hours I now save by not going to a store to try on pants that don’t fit are hours I can spend crafting! Duet for the win!

the fitting workbook is worth every penny regardless of the pattern, but the pattern is great too! I refer to this fitting workbook every time I make pants no matter who drafted the pattern.

I was super scared to try this pattern, but it was great! The video tutorials along the way helped me a great deal and I was able to sew up my first pair of pants.

This is my holy grail of paants patterns. It comes with a huge adjustments book so you can make any adjustments that work for you. They are quick and easy sew and look amazing! LOVE this pattern

I play golf and have been looking for a pants pattern that I can make. My peer group decided to make this pattern. I love how many instructions there are, how to put the muslin together quickly, and an entire workbook on fitting. Thank you for making patterns that really are intuitive, thoughtful and look good.

This was my second purchase from Love Notions. I loved the Luna Loungewear pattern so much I decided to give the Duet a try with the tapered leg option. These pants are so comfy. Made a muslin first, with alterations for a flat seat. Sewed the final version up in a ponte.. I did raise the top front an inch and a half because I like a higher rise. Love the front pocket. Will definitely make another pair and anxious to try another pattern. I’m hooked.
