Intro To Garment Making - Shorts/Pants

Ready to level up your sewing skills? In this intermediate workshop, you’ll follow a commercial sewing pattern to create a pair of elasticated shorts or pants. Choose your preferred length – from cute short shorts to full-length pants. Learn how to confidently cut, sew, and finish your garment using techniques you can repeat at home.

You’ll need some sewing experience for this one – participants must know how to thread and operate a sewing machine independently. If you’re not quite there yet, check out our Sewing for Beginners class first!

Project: A pair of elastic waist shorts or pants in your choice of length: Short shorts, Bermuda, Knee-length, Ankle-length or Full-length pants.

What you'll learn

• How to take your hip measurement
• Cutting and pinning a commercial pattern
• Garment construction
• Sewing curved lines
• Hemming
• Inserting an elasticated waistband

This class only runs once every four weeks and is often booked out two months in advance, so we recommend grabbing your spot early.
