McCall's Sewing pattern 7966 CCE

Looking for a versatile sewing pattern for girls? McCall's Sewing pattern 7966 CCE gives you both trousers and shorts in one pattern, so you can make a practical everyday garment with plenty of styling options. The elasticated waist and ribbon tie help create a comfortable fit, while the length variations let you choose the look that suits your project.

McCall's Sewing pattern 7966 CCE for creative children's trousers

This pattern is designed for girls in sizes 98 to 116 and is suited to sewists with a medium level of experience. You can make longer trousers or shorts depending on the version you choose, giving you a fresh result from the same pattern again and again.

Versatile details for a personalised finish

Version A and B include patch pockets. Version C has side seam pockets and side button tabs, while version D features side seam pockets with a front ribbon detail. That makes it easy to move from sporty to playful styling, depending on the fabric and finishing touches you choose.

Good fabric choices

For the best result, choose cotton fabric, linen fabric, denim or corduroy. Twill is also a good option if you want a slightly firmer finish. This makes it a practical choice when you want to buy fabric by the metre for a children's dressmaking project.

Pattern details

The pattern is supplied in an envelope and the instructions are in English and French. Seam allowance of 1.5 cm is included unless otherwise noted, so you can get started with less prep and a clearer sewing process.
