Sew Your Own Weekend Trousers - Saturday 20th - Sunday 21st February 2027

Saturday 20th - Sunday 21st February 2027 at Just Sew, Penrith

Sew Your Own Weekend Trousers

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

These athleisure weekend trousers are a relaxed-fit, pull-on style with a flattering full-length straight leg and comfortable elasticated waistband. Combining the comfort of your favourite loungewear with a stylish, contemporary look, they're perfect for everyday wear – whether paired with trainers and a casual top or dressed up for a smarter look.

With options to add contrasting side panels, pockets (using concealed zips), a drawstring waist and decorative trims (in particular piping and ribbon trims), there's plenty of opportunity to make your trousers unique to you. Choose your favourite knit fabric and create a comfortable, stylish pair of trousers that you'll want to wear on repeat!

Size range for this workshop is 6 - 30 (waist 23.5" - 53" and hips 33" - 62.5")

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