Description

Now that you have a few garments and projects under your belt (pardon the pun), let's tackle pants, the Helen's Closet Arden Pants.

As this is a next step beginner lesson, we will still take it slow but we will focus more on pattern cutting, construction, sewing skills and finishing garments.

These are super comfy and easy to sew and easy to wear pants! A classic elastic-waist pant with front and back pockets! See some versions here.

Size guide:  0 - 30

Skill Level: If you have taken a beginner workshop or weekender with me, this is perfect next step.

Loved this class! It's great for next step beginners and medium level sewers keen to expand their skills in a beautiful, supportive space. I am able to sew and read a pattern, have made kids clothes for years. Making pants for myself is something I have always wanted to try but not been confident. This class gave me lots of confidence and tips. Jenny helped us to adjust the pattern to fit out unique curves as well as lots of tip, tricks and confidence to try new things. I learnt a lot and have a fabulous pair of pants ready for summer holidays. There'll be more in my wardrobe soon!

Intro to Pants was a GREAT course, Jenny's instructions were clear and inspired confidence. This is the second time I have learned from her, having booked a 3 hour one-on-one class earlier in the year. I will be coming back for more classes - I'm now hooked on sewing. I can't recommend this place highly enough. The space is also great to work in. Loads of room and really comfortable. Karen, Ashfield
