Local pattern company, Sew Liberated’s, most recent pants pattern! The Madrone pants have a unique barrel leg composed of puzzle-like pattern pieces. With lots of topstitching, curved seams, and the opportunity for color blocking- this is an intermediate pattern. Over three classes we will work through pattern adjustments, cutting layout, topstitching tricks, seam finishing options, and a fashion show of our final products!
Skill level: INTERMEDIATE- students should have previously made at least one pair of pants,
be able to independently follow a pattern, and feel confident using ( threading, winding a bobbin, etc.) a sewing machine.
