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. Week 3 - assembling the legs, and choosing your seam finished (French or flat-felled). Week 4 - waistband, elastic, hemming.
One large-format printed pattern and instructions are provided for each students, as is the required amount of elastic. Shared tools and notions (irons/boards, scissors, etc.) are available to use. You can choose to BYO fabric and thread, or choose "materials included". Both options are explained below.
OPTIONAL - materials included
If you choose "materials included", you can pick 2.5m of linen or gabardine from Maker's, in any color that's in stock. You will also receive coordinating thread. Select "materials included" and email katherine@tinycheerhandmade.com with your fabric choice and color.
If you BYO, you will need:
Roughly 2.5-3 m (depending on your size) of light-to-medium-weight woven bottom-weight fabric with drape - linen, cotton twill, Tencel twill, light-to-mid weight denim, and matching thread.
