Duration: 7 h | Max. participants: 4 | Sewing machine, tools, pattern & fabrics included | Cost: 145€

Learn to sew a timeless A-line skirt or a pair of boxer shorts with an elastic waistband and pockets. Both options are beginner-friendly projects meant to train your understanding of patterns, clothing construction, use of fabric and sewing. Sustainable fabrics, the paper sewing pattern, tools, home sewing machines and snacks are included.

You can choose between 2 types of projects

This class can be taken right after the Fabrics & Sewing Basics Class. It is easy, but complex enough if you haven't sewn any clothing before. Both projects are upcycling-friendly, which means you can use any of the patterns to easily recreate the pieces from old clothing & small pieces of fabric.

You will learn

• how to plan and cut fabric for minimum waste;

• how to handle and organize your fabric pieces for ease of sewing;

• how to sew elastic waistbands;

• how to sew inside pockets;

• how to finish clothes' bottom, also known as hem;

• how to give a professional finish to your clothing;

• many other things you will understand in the process.

You will take home 

• an A-line skirt or a pair of shorts tailored to your body, created entirely by you from the sustainable fabrics provided by us;

• a paper pattern customized to your measurements;

• a PDF with sewing instructions to help you easily recreate the project at home in any size;

• notions about fabric cutting and manipulation and techniques that you can use for creating trousers, dresses and accessories;

• a professional picture with you wearing your project.
