What to bring

You will need a medium weight canvas or twill, another choice could be corduroy or denim. You can make the Emerson in a lighter weight fabric but the shape of the trouser will be more fluid. Requirements for each size are listed in the pictures above. 

If you would like to take advantage of the discounted fabric bundles details can be found in the pictures above.

Bring lunch to nibble, we will keep you going with tea and cake! 





Important : 

If your hip and waist measurements fall outside of the range of the printed pattern [over 46”/118cm] let use know and we can make arrangements so you can have access to the other size range.
We have planned the workshop so you will get your fit right and may well finish your final garment but due to the differences in our bodies and sewing abilities you may take longer, don't worry, you have the pattern to keep and the support of the team to finish at home or another day. 




Please note that this workshop is held in our light and spacious first floor studio at Stitching Kitchen, which is accessible by stairs.
