Want to make your own clothes? Have some basic sewing skills under your belt? Join me for this fun three-week class and make some cropped pants!
We will be using the Ninni Elastic Waist Culottes from Named Clothing.
Although the Ninni Culottes can be sewn in a knit fabric as well as a woven fabric, we will be sewing them out of woven fabric in this class.
You Will Learn How To:
Use a PDF pattern
Take your body measurements
Understand basic pattern information
Choose the right fabric for your project
Prepare your fabric for sewing
Cut out your pattern
Sew side seam pockets
Sew an elasticated waistband
How to hem
You are Welcome To Join This Class If:
You are aged 16 or older
You have completed 3 projects recently. You can confidently operate a machine.
Supplies To Bring:
Week 1 at Gala Fabrics.
We will be going over some sewing pattern basics, taking our measurements, deciding what size of culottes to make, and figuring out how much fabric we’ll need to buy.
I can help you choose the fabric you want to use for your project. Gala Fabrics generously offers 20% off to Gather & Stitch students for their class supplies! If you already have fabric and thread - or you want to pick it up somewhere else - this is also absolutely fine!
Weeks 2 and 3 at TheDock
