This course is designed for total beginners. you will not need to have any previous experience in sewing. Lesson 1: On the first lesson we will go over the basics and you will complete small beginner project, such as making a cushion cover with the zip or a make a small purse/ pencil case. That will give you some essential skills to move on to your trousers project.
During the rest of this course you will learn how to position your patterns correctly and cut your fabric, put together your trousers and sew in a zip as well as attach a waistband and couple of different techniques on how to hem your trousers. For an extra £15 we offer to make a bespoke pattern for your trousers to make sure they fit you perfectly. This pattern is for you to take home and to use to make more beautiful trousers in the future. We recommend taking advantage of this as commercial patterns are produced using standard measurements. These take a long time to adjust and the extra time taken will result in your project taking longer than 4 sessions to complete. (These extra sessions are not included in the course price and will need to be booked separately.)
Length of course: 12 hours over 4 weeks. Cost of materials not included.
This course assumes a simple design trousers, if you would like to add some extra details to your project, that will be fine but make take a bit longer to complete, so you may need to book some extra lessons.
