Project: Ultimate Culottes from Sew Over It
When: Saturday 19th October 2024. 9am until 5pm
Where: Sweet Williams, 6 - 8 Herbert Street, Pontardawe, SA8 4EB
Skill Level: Confident Beginner Dress Making
The Culottes are a simple pair of flattering, oh-so-easy-to-sew wide-legged cropped trousers. Whether you pair them with flats or dress them up with heels for a night out, are endlessly wearable.
The Culottes are designed to sit on the natural waist, and come with two finishing options. Version 1 has a waistband with lovely wide belt loops, whilst Version 2 is finished invisibly with a neat facing. Both options feature single darts at the front and double darts at the back for shaping, with an invisible zip in the side seam.
Fitted only at the waist, the Culottes are a great pattern for those new to trouser-sewing. They are easily shortened into shorts, or lengthened into palazzo pants to suit your style.
You will need to bring fabric, a 9 inch concealed zip, 1 metre of lightweight interfacing and your own sewing machine preferably as we feel students are more comfortable using a machine they are familiar with. However, we do have some spare machines available if this is not possible, but please let us know in advance.
Please note that the workshop is situated on the top floor of Sweet Williams, so there are 2 short flights of stairs to climb. Bring a packed lunch.
Please note that classes are non refundable if you have to cancel for any reason and we are unable to fill your space in good time.
