S.O. Sew Dressmaking
Learn how to create your dream trouser pattern in this one day workshop.
This workshop is the perfect follow on to the popular Draft Your Own Trouser Block Workshop, and will take you through the steps to create a waistband, zip closure and pockets.
Techniques covered will include how to draft a fly zip and waistband to match and various pocket options. This workshop is tailored towards anyone who has made a trouser block, however if you have not completed this workshop a standard block can be provided for you.
You will need to bring your own sewing machine and tools (i.e scissors, pins, etc) to sew your toile during the workshop. If you can’t bring your sewing machine I have spare machines you can use.
You will also need a pencil or pen, rubber, sharpener etc. a notebook is also handy to have to keep notes. I will have frixion pens and markers to use but if you have any you can bring those too.
Pattern paper, calico and a curved ruler will be supplied along with all worksheets. The book we will be working from is Metric Pattern Cutting by Winifred Aldrich. If you have a copy of this you can bring it with you.
This class is for advanced beginners or intermediate sewers who are confident making trousers.
