Learn how to sew the Emerson Pants by True Bias.
Understand the basics of fitting trousers to your body
Develop confidence in making fit adjustments and customizing a sewing pattern.
You’ll make a muslin/toile and then be able to make further adjustments to your pattern. Toile fabric and pattern paper will be provided.
You will also start on final version in your chosen fabric. 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 and you can add the fabric as an add on to the workshop at check out.
The workshop will cover
Taking accurate measurements
Making a muslin/toile
Evaluating fit
Making Fitting adjustments
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.
If you have any questions please ask. 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.
No need to bring your sewing machine as the studio is fully equipped with our PFAFF demo models. Do bring fabric for final version (unless you purchase a bundle) and some lunch to nibble, we will keep you going with tea and cake!
