Sew Your Own Wide Leg Trousers - Sunday 25th January

Join Lucy on this day workshop and sew yourself a pair of wonderful Wide Leg Trousers. 

These pull on trousers are effortlessly stylish and on-trend, with subtle detailing including a flat front and elasticated waistband for maximum comfort and fit. 

Not a fan of full length trousers? Then don't worry, you can also make these as a cropped length or even shorts - get ahead of the game and get summer ready! 

You'll learn lots of skills including;

• Constructing a flat front, elasticated back waistband
• Sewing front pleats for a clean, tailored look. 
• Constructing pockets
• Working with woven fabrics for drape and structure
• Hemming cropped wide leg trousers or shorts
• Understanding and fitting rise options (mid-rise to high-rise) plus further pattern alterations. 

Size range for the Wide Leg Trousers is 0 - 32 (waist 26" - 52" and hips 34" - 61")

You do need to have some sewing machine experience for this course. Though not necessarily dressmaking.
