Leggings Fitting and Construction Workshop with Lyra Bobo

This two-day workshop will enable participants to fit and construct great fitting 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 fabrics that are the proper weight and stretch ratio for leggings will be sent out to participants prior to the workshop. Lisa Marie will be present to assist you should you encounter challenges with your serger or coverstitch machines.

Friday June 21st 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!

Saturday June 22nd 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.

2-Day Workshop: Friday, June 21 and Saturday, June 22; 10:00am - 3:00pm each day.
