If you want to learn to sew from a pattern, gain an understanding of garment construction, and begin sewing your own clothes, this is the workshop for you!
In this two-part weekend workshop, you'll sew a super-cute pair of Free Range Slacks, custom made to fit your body. These slacks feature an elastic waist, front pockets, and either a tapered or wide leg-- you choose! You'll leave this class with the skills and confidence to tackle more garment sewing on your own.
You'll learn how to:
- Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit
- Work from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from tissue paper pattern pieces, and more
- Understand garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and trouble shooting
- Become familiar with sewing jargon commonly found in commercial patterns
- Cut fabric and assemble a garment the right way
- Sew a hem, wide elastic waistband, front slash pockets, a tapered or straight leg (you choose!)
- Please note: Depending on sewing speed, we may not be able to construct the back pocket during class, but you'll be well-prepared to do so on your own!
The pattern is available in two size ranges: 00-20 and Curvy Fit 18-34. Using the size charts in photos above, please determine the size range that best suits you. When you register, please leave a note indicating your decision so we can reserve the correct pattern for you. Feel free to contact us at info@brooklyncraftcompany.com with any questions!

Saturday 11/7 at 3:30pm-6:30pm and Sunday 11/8 at 11am-6pm
This is a beginner garment sewing workshop; you do not need to have any experience sewing clothing, but you must have basic machine-sewing skills.
