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 Florence + The Makers, 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.
