Sew Your Own Perfect Fit Trousers - Saturday 2nd - Sunday 3rd October 2027

Saturday 2nd - Sunday 3rd October 2027 at Just Sew, Penrith

Sew Your Own Perfect Fit Trousers

Join Lucy on this 2 day workshop, ran from Just Sew, Penrith and sew yourself your own perfect fit trousers 

Discover a different approach to trouser making! These stylish trousers feature a traditional fly-front zip fastening, but with a clever twist – there are no outer side seams! Plus, the fit and shaping are created using waist darts, offering a different way to achieve a beautifully fitted pair of trousers.

This workshop is a great opportunity to try something a little different, develop your dressmaking skills and learn new construction techniques. You'll explore how darts can shape and fit a garment, while mastering the techniques involved in creating a neat, professional-looking fly-front zip. Come along and discover a new way to make trousers that fit!

Size range for this workshop is 00 - 40 (waist 25.5" - 54" and hips 33" - 62")

You do need to have some sewing machine experience for this course, as well as having had some dressmaking experience.
