Clone Your Favourite Trousers
Have a favourite pair of trousers you just love wearing? Learn how to make your own version.
Over three evening sessions, you’ll use an existing pair of your favourite trousers as the starting point to create a basic pattern that mirrors their shape and fit. We’ll then use your new pattern to cut and make a fresh pair in the fabric of your choice.
The trousers will have either a fully elasticated waistband or an elasticated waistband with a front panel, with the option to add pockets. You can choose the style that works best for you and make your new trousers your own.
Across the three sessions, we’ll:
Create a basic pattern from your existing trousers
Make any simple adjustments needed
Cut your fabric
Piece your trousers together
Add your chosen waistband and optional pockets
Finish your new pair of trousers
This workshop is suitable for ages 18+ and anyone with a little machine sewing experience who is ready to take the next step into making their own clothes. You don’t need any previous dressmaking or pattern-making experience.
