Outcomes
- In this class you will learn how to draft, cut and sew these gorgeous palazzo pants by hand. This wide leg trouser design uses simple rectangles and historical hand sewing techniques..
- First we will learn how to get your measurements by using a favourite pair of pants or by measuring your body (or a bit of both). Then we will cut our fabric and construct the trousers..
- This class is suitable for total sewing beginners or those who have some sewing experience and would like a fun project to try. If you like using a sewing machine you can follow along and replace the hand sewing with your preferred machine method..
- These trousers are a zero waste design as we maximise using the full fabric with rectangles and only cut out 4 small notches for the crotch..
- What will you needFabric - I recommend watching the class on measuring and choosing fabric before buying your fabric.Elastic - I recommend 2-4cm wide. You will need less than 50cmNeedles -I use a small one like this for hand sewing and a slightly bigger one for gatheringThread - A good quality thread in cotton makes your work much smoother. One in matching colour of the fabric, another in a contrasting colour for gathering. It’s also recommended that your gathering thread is a bit thicker/stronger so it doesn’t snap when you gatherTape measure - For measuring yourself and your fabricFabric Marker - Tailors chalk or iron off pen. I personally love a heat erasable pen, then you can iron your marks off when you've finished sewingGood scissors - Fabric scissors need to be sharp and the golden rule is only use your fabric scissors to cut fabricCalculator - To do some basic maths for working out your rectangle sizesThimble - To protect your fingers whilst sewingBeeswax - You can use beeswax to coat your thread so it doesn’t get tangled or stuck, but it’s not necessaryNotebook - Hand write your measurements, and draw your cutting plan, or use a notebook app on your deviceSeam Ripper / Unpicker - To unpick mistakes.
