Just In Draft And Make Your Own Trouser Pattern - 2 Day Workshop 16-17 May 2025 Apparel [DbWfLm2V]

Our Draft and Make Your Own Trouser Pattern Workshop is a fun and productive 2 day workshop aimed at those who have experience in sewing. You will be spending your time drafting and sewing with others in our studio space surrounded by beautiful fabrics, while learning and developing your skills.

During this NEW 2 Day Trouser workshop you will begin by taking a thorough set of measurements to then create a trouser block tailored to your body. This will eliminate the need to make fit adjustments to a pattern as you will have your own unique block to start from and create your own patterns. We will sew a toile of your pattern after completing it to ensure it has the correct fit and talk through and final adjustments you need to make.

On Day 2 you will learn the skills needed to create a pattern from this block, including how to draft a waistband, pockets and fly zip.  We will then prepare your final pattern and begin to make it in your final fabric.

(Please note that depending on how complex your pattern is and your skill level you may not finish your final trousers during the workshop. However we will ensure you have the instructions to complete them at home.)

(Thank you to one of our previous workshop attendees who shared a photo of the trousers she made from her Trouser Block.)

Experience: This workshop is aimed at those who have experience sewing and have a thorough understanding of how patterns are put together, especially trousers.

Supplies: You will need to bring your own sewing machine and tools (scissors, pins, etc). You will be able to purchase haberdashery items, fabric and patterns on the day if you will require.

Pattern paper, calico and curved ruler will be provided.
