Pattern Drafting | Pants

In this course you will learn how to draw a basic trouser pattern, made exactly to fit your body measurements. You can choose between a male or female version. After drawing the pattern, you will create a toile (test garment) to ensure every detail fits perfectly. Then you can let your imagination run free and design a top that you would like to make. You will bring your own fabric and sew your exclusive design, while learning useful techniques such as inserting a zipper, constructing a pocket, and hemming.

If you have completed our basic pattern-making course, you can also take this course and, instead of drawing a basic trouser pattern, you can create patterns for two different designs.

First class
Drafting the basic pattern trouser based on your measurements, starting with making the sample

Second class
Complete the sample, Fitting, and adjustments to the basic pattern, discuss the desired design, and modify the basic pattern to your desired design.

Third class
Making the sample of the modified pattern and fitting. 

Fourth class
Adjusting the required changes to your final pattern, cutting the pattern on the actual fabric, and preparing for sewing the final design.

Fifth and sixth class
Executing the trouser, sewing, and finishings. 

Possible continuation
The duration of the course is based on an average level of sewing skills and not-too-difficult fabric. If you cannot complete the project within this time, you can purchase extra time with Sewing Club hours.

Classes are provided in English and Dutch.
