Tania Sewalong Schedule
Hey everyone! Holly here!
Who are our Tania lovers out there? *raises hand*. I know the Tania culottes are not a new pattern, but we’ve actually never done a proper sewalong! What?! With the release of the new, updated pattern – which includes the new sizing, some new versions, and the addition of pockets, it seemed like the perfect time to go over every detail! So with that said, here’s the full list of Tania posts and tutorials coming up and the Tania sewalong schedule!
- Inspiration and ideas
- Pleats
- Pockets
- Bonus: adding pockets to the old version of Tania
- Side seam and waistband
- Zipper (invisible zipper)
- Waistband facing – two ways
- Bonus : lapped zipper with waistband facing
- Inseam and hem
Here are some older Tania posts you might find useful :

- How to lengthen a hem with lace
- How to make midi Tania culottes (if you have the old pattern and want to make View C or D without purchasing the new version)
- Variation: Tania culottes with elastic back and side seam pockets
And some older tutorials that could help!
- Six seam finishes and when to use them
- Clipping vs. notching
- Three ways to sew a rolled hem
- Evening out a circle hem

I’m just today in the process of making the knee length Tania cullottes with the new pattern (I had previously bought the original length but purchased again because of the new versions) and I’m about to add the waistband when it occurred to me (too late for this pair) that the Flint pocket fastening could also be used do you think? (I don’t like zips in very lightweight fabric like some viscose as it changes the drape and feel on one side).
Ros is this SUCH a cool idea! You should be able to – i would swap out the entire Flint waistband pattern pieces for the Tania waistband pattern pieces and you should be good to go! These two patterns have the same pocket distance from side seam, so i don’t foresee any problems. Good luck and can’t wait to hear how this turns out!
