Trouser Fit – Make a pair of Trousers
October 29, 2022 @ 9:30 am - October 30, 2022 @ 4:30 pm
£175.00
Looking to sew the perfect pair of fitted trousers? Then look no further.
Sewing a pair of trousers can be fairly straight forward…getting them to fit properly, well that can be a little more challenging. During this two-day workshop you will have the opportunity to demystify those fitting nemesis and guide you through your toile on day 1 and construction requirements necessary to produce a stunning pair of fitted trousers on day 2.
Patterns we are recommending:
Closet Case-Sasha Trousers-a polished wardrobe staple. Featuring classic tailored details, a flattering mid-rise with a contour waistband, slim, tapered leg and a comfortable stretch fit, these are wear-everywhere pants that can easily move from day to night.
True Bias- Lander Pants – With a high waist and button or zip fly, the Lander pattern is not only on trend, but also flattering and comfortable for all body types. The pattern includes front and back patch pockets, belt loops, and a straight fit through the legs.
Depending on your sewing skill we recommend that you can sew either trouser without pockets which cuts down on the time constraints.
