Pattern Cutting: Trouser Block Part 2 - Design and Make a Pair of Trousers

  • Make a Selection

Follow on from our block making class, design and make your very own pair of perfect fitting trousers!

Maximum Class Size: 6

Level: This class is aimed at confident sewers.

If you've taken the trouser block pattern cutting course with Alice but haven't yet put your block to good use, here is your opportunity!

You've already done the hard part, now for the fun part - use your block to draft an infinite variety of styles. From skinny cigarette trousers via wide-legged palazzo pants to cute summer shorts, the world will be your trouser-making oyster! Alice will help you to choose the right fastenings for your design, from the classic zip or button fly to the most elegant way to insert an elastic waistband.

Once you've created all the paper pattern pieces you'll transfer them to either calico or 'proper fabric' and make up your very own, perfectly fitting designer trousers!

Please bring with you: Most importantly, your trouser block. Also, fabric for your trousers. You can use calico to make a toile or fabric to make a finished pair of trousers. If you need help with fabric quantities, or anything else, please email school@raystitch.co.uk

*Please note, depending on the complexity of your style, you might not get to fully complete your trousers in this one day workshop but you will create a full set of pattern pieces and hopefully make a good start on construction.

Please take a moment to read our cancellation policy before booking:

Unfortunately our classes are non refundable. Due our small class sizes it is also very difficult to transfer your booking to a different date. If you cannot attend a class and are able to notify us at least two weeks before the class starts, it may be possible to fit you in on another date but this is not guaranteed so please give us as much notice as possible to increase your chances.

In the event that we are forced to cancel a class, we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible and offer either a full refund or swap your booking to another suitable date.
