PRIVATE GROUP: Barrel-Leg Trousers - Mondays in March

This is a private class for Emily & friends. If booking a private class for you and your friends sounds fun, please contact us!

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Let's make hard pants!

In this five-evening intermediate workshop series, we'll create a pair of barrel-leg trousers that fits you to perfection. We'll start with taking proper measurements, walk through any necessary pattern alterations to achieve the desired fit, cut fabric, and go through all of the construction steps necessary for jeans and trousers, learning tips and best practices along the way. 

We'll be making the Coe Trousers by Daughter Judy, a high waisted trouser with a side seam that wraps to the front giving it a slightly curved leg shape. On-seam pockets at the front and patch pockets at the back with optional self belt. The inseam finishes below the ankle giving you a relaxed look. Check out the hashtag on Instagram for inspiration on fabric and fit.

WHAT TO BRING/ WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Fabric should be purchased separately, but all other notions, thread, and equipment is included.
• You will receive a digital licence for the pattern and a printed copy to take home with you.
• Participants will have their own machine to use for the class, but can bring their own if they want to become more familiar with it.

SKILL LEVEL

• Adults (16+)
• Skill Level: Intermediate. Previous sewing experience is necessary to join this class. It's OK if this is your first pair of pants, but a general understanding of machine sewing and completion of a few previous sewing projects will be necessary in order to keep up with the pace of the class.
