Back-to-School Sewing Camp Pants & Shorts: Week 3

Back-to-School Sewing Camp: Pants and shorts!

This Fall camp workshop series is for anyone who wants to learn how to sew or practice! There will be 4 sessions ($25 ea) needed to finish the pants or shorts. Each session will be offered on a weekend and weekday to accomodate different schedules, and run for 4 weeks.

Session 1: Edit a class-provided pants or shorts sewing pattern to cut out your choice of materials. You'll be able to design your pants/shorts size, width, length, and pocket styles. Feel free to bring your own material (will need 2-3 yards depending on fabric width and short vs long pants), or choose from some upcycled options at the studio. Seattle Recreative is a great place to get secondhand fabric. Thrift stores also have a great selection of linens and fabrics that'd be great for pants and shorts. A medium-weight woven fabric (imagine a tablecloth or curtains fabric) is what to look for. This fabric won't have any stretch, be too heavy for the machines, or look too much like pajamas (unless that's what you want to make!).

Session 2: Begin to sew the pants or shorts. We'll use home sewing machines for the basic seams, and look at different ways to finish the seams for a clean finish. 

*This ticket is for Session 3 only*

Session 3: Continue sewing! Today we'll most likely be finishing the pockets and adding an internal elastic waistband. 

Session 4: This session will most likely be finishing the hems and any other final details!
