Ready to take your garment sewing skills to the next level? Join us to to make a pair of Helen's Closet Falconer Pants in this 5-week course.
Face your fear of zipper and learn to construct a zipper fly! The Falconer pant also feature belt loops and side panels with set-in pockets. Choose either a wide leg, or a cropped barrel leg. You will love the effortlessly cool fit and design details of the Falconer Pants!
Under the guidance of our resident sewing expert, you'll learn the basics of pants construction and fitting as you master several garment-sewing essentials.
We'll cover:
- Measuring the body accurately to create a perfect fit
- Working from an intermediate commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from paper pattern pieces, and more
- Understanding garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and troubleshooting
- Becoming familiar with sewing jargon commonly found in commercial patterns
- How to topstitch
- How to sew a zipper fly, curved waistband, belt loops, and side panels with set-in side pockets
Intermediate sewing experience is required; YOU MUST BE COMFORTABLE WORKING ON A SEWING MACHINE INDEPENDENTLY and have sewn a few garments in the recent past.
Important Note: This is a print-at-home PDF pattern, available only through Helen's Closet, here! Students must download, print and assemble the pattern prior to class. Alternatively, students can save time by having the pattern large-format printed at a copy shop such as Brooklyn Motif.
