This immersive three day workshop enables you to make a pair of trousers of your choice, at your own pace.
You will draft the basic trouser block from your own personal measurements. Learn to analyse the fit and make the necessary pattern adjustments. You can then choose any of my trouser patterns - Hero, Portia, Nell or Ariel to adjust to fit you and then make up. Or you can choose to draft a trouser pattern from scratch taking your time to ensure you have the correct fit in a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
While relatively easy to make up, trousers can be tricky to fit on your own. So we have split this workshop into two parts.
Day One/Two
I will help you to draft the trouser the trouser block to flatter your own shape and figure showing you where and how to make any pattern alterations. The fit will be tested in a calico toile and perfected before using this to amend one of the trousers patterns or you can draft your own.
Day Two/Three
After perfecting the pattern and fit I will show you how to make them up.
You will learn all the skills you need to make up a perfectly fitting pair of trousers. Please bear in mind depending on how quickly you work and the complexity of your pattern you may not completely finish your pair of trousers. But be assured you will leave knowing exactly how to get them finished at home.
This masterclass is all about the fit and getting you to a point where you feel confident to make up trousers on your own at home.
