About Sew Your Own Pants with Cass & Lydia
Join us for sociable stitching and sew your own pants with Cass and Lydia! Have you struggled to find well fitting underwear in your size? Do you find that off-the-shelf pants are often uncomfortable or overly constricting, or are you just interested in learning the skills to build your ethical wardrobe? Introducing the collaboration of the century … we’re so excited that our resident super stitcher Cassandra Belanger is teaming up with the queen of inclusive fashion, Lydia Morrow to help you create the best fitting and most comfortable pants you can possibly imagine. Whatever your body shape, come along and craft your perfect pair, tailored to your own measurements. Learn to make your own well fitting, comfortable, casual, and supportive underwear with a domestic sewing machine or overlocker.
This course is a step-by-step guide on how to make a comfortable pair of pants including help troubleshooting common issues like fit and proportions, and exploring reusing fabric from retired garments or getting creative with fabric scraps. In the safe hands of our regular sewing tutor Cassandra and expert underwear maker Lydia, students will be introduced to the use of stretch fabrics and elastics, creating undergarments that fit your curves as they should. Learn to personalise the Median pants (pattern by Sophie Hines), working with different fabrics, adding structure, and working to fit your own unique shape. And if you’re shy, don’t worry: There is plenty of space to try on your garments in private!
Sew Your Own Pants with Cass and Lydia is a Beyond Beginner course, which means that you must have at least a basic level of garment construction experience, having made at least one garment and understand how to use a sewing machine. If you’ve got a couple of projects under your belt, that will probably stand you in good stead. If you’ve never made an item of clothing before, but wish to take this course, you may consider the Sewing Clothes for Beginners Course or some private tuition.
