Duration:  7 h + 30 min break ♦  Max. participants: 4   
Sewing machine, tools, pattern & fabrics included  ♦  Cost: 175€

Understand pants construction, pattern, and sewing techniques, by creating your style of pants with an elastic waistband closing and front pockets, using a pattern made just for you – that you get to keep after the class and remake again and again! Sustainable fabrics, tools, and domestic sewing machines will be provided.

You can choose between 4 leg styles

This class can be taken right after the Introduction to Sewing Class, even if you haven't made any other pieces of clothing before. Everything is explained step by step so that even the most complex techniques can be easily understood and the entire project feels simple enough to motivate you to continue sewing on your own.
