Four Wednesday evenings and you walk out wearing trousers you made!
We're sewing the Free-Range Slacks by Sew House Seven - high-waisted pull-on trousers with an elastic waist, deep front pockets and side panels. Choose the tapered leg or the straight cropped leg; add the back pockets or don't.
Week 1 - measuring honestly, choosing your size, tracing and cutting. Week 2 - pockets and side panels, the bit that makes them look bought. Week 3 - assembling the legs, and choosing your seam finished (French or flat-felled). Week 4 - waistband, elastic, hemming, and fitting on a live body!
