We will provide the trouser pattern for you. You can bring along some fabric of your choice, or purchase a fabric in advance from the selection in our shop.
We recommend a fabric that has a draping quality, for example soft cotton or rayon for the trousers. You are welcome to pop into the store for advice.
This is an improver dressmaking workshop. You should already know your way around a sewing machine, be able to thread the machine and load the bobbin and do forward and back straight stitching.
Materials Required:
Bring your own choice of fabric or purchase fabrics in advance from our shop.
You will need between 1.5 and 2m of fabric, depending on your measurements and the design/pattern on the fabric. You will require more fabric if there is a one-way design on your fabric.
Please write in the notes yourwaist size, outside leg measurement- waist to hem for your pattern. Thank you!
