Leggings Fitting and Construction Workshop with Lyra Bobo

2-Day Workshop: Friday, January 24 and Friday, February 8; 10:00am - 3:00pm each day.

Instructor: Lyra Bobo

Join us, the Santa Rosa Chapter of the American Sewing Guild for a two day workshop fitting and constructing leggings. This workshop will enable participants to fit and construct great fitting and looking leggings with success. Fitting legging patterns requires some specialized measurements that allow for significant stretch and compression to achieve a successful fit. Recommendations for legging patterns, elastics and appropriate fabric choices that are proper weight and stretch ratio for leggings will be sent out to participants prior to the workshop.

Friday January 24th The first day we will cover various pattern styling options, measuring, and editing the pattern to fit, utilizing a special measurement chart that will be provided to participants. I will also share books and videos to reference going forward. Participants should purchase fabrics, elastics, and patterns prior to the first day of the workshop!

Friday February 8th The second day we will cover construction methods, elastic application, and seam options using a basic sewing machine, serger and coverstitch. Participants may also use a serger instead of a coverstitch if they choose. Leggings can be constructed effectively using either of these machines along with a basic sewing machine.

No Refunds. Tickets are transferable to another person for this same event but not Refundable.
