FORMAT - Hands-on

TUTOR - Martyn Smith (read about tutor)  sewmartyn@icloud.com

SKILL LEVEL - all levels

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION - Increase your knowledge of drafting, making and fitting a toile (muslin) that can be either made into a finished pattern, ready to make, or be laid onto a purchased pattern to get a better fit. With no one being “perfect” this is a great way to finally get some pants that feel like you!

Each workshop participant will draft a pair of pants, cut them in pre-shrunk calico (or medium weight cotton or some cheap pants weight fabric), and then get fitted. Sometimes a few toiles need to be made up to get the best fit. Once fitted, we will look at transferring the alterations to the paper pattern and, as a group, look at the different methods of “fit transfer” during this process. The objective is to arrive at a finished pattern that can be then made up in the Pants Construction workshop if the student is following on to those days.
