Friends, I am offering this class at Bolt Fabrics in fabulous Northeast Portland only at this time. The shop is over-the-top delicious with a great fabric and notions selection that I cannot offer in my limited-license location. Pairing with a fabric shop for this class has always been more fun. Vancouver folks: It’s an easy commute with only a minute on I-5 and off to surface streets. Takes me 15 minutes from my studio. Trust! Come sew with me.

Focus On Fit-Pant Fit & Sew Moving on to the the lower body with Pant Fit & Sew. This is going to rock your sewing world right off it’s foundation by empowering you to make pants that FIT! I recommend the workshop-tested Palmer/Pletsch for McCall’s pattern 6901-a perfect pant pattern for learning fit. We will start with a presentation that walks you through all the pant fit basics and covers fabrics and notions, too. Since there is some sewing involved before a great fabric pin fitting can happen, I’ve made this intro class three sessions. You will alter your pattern, cut from fabric, insert zippers and sew crotch seams, pin fit and prepare the waist band. Some home sewing will remain to complete your garment. You can change up this basic pant in numerous ways and make it your lower body road map.
