Create your own handmade wardrobe and make a pair of pants! Find joy in creating your own custom clothes and embrace slow fashion.
Pants are a staple wardrobe item, but sometimes it can be hard to find good-fitting pants. In our beginner-level workshop, you will make a pair of simple pants to learn new sewing techniques for garment making.
Keeping it simple, we will be making a pair of pants from woven, non-stretch fabric that doesn’t have a zipper. Pants with an elasticated waist or drawstring are a good place to start for a pair of comfortable pants. Bring your own pattern, or we can recommend one.
What you will learn in our full-day workshop:
  • Learn how to take body measurements
  • Learn how to read and prepare a commercial sewing pattern
  • Do small pattern alterations to fit your size
  • Customise your pant pattern to get the perfect leg length
  • Make a piece of clothing with pockets
  • Learn how to lay up your fabric, lay your pattern pieces, and cut your fabric
  • Read pattern instructions and learn sewing terminology
  • Sew your garment together
  • Use an overlocker to finish your edges
  • Understand the order of operations, the order of each step
  • Learn how to perfect the fit of your sewn garment
  • Learn finishing techniques for a professional look
