This is part of the RECLAIMED MATERIALS series with Diana ?tainerov? SESSION No.1: Fabric / Jersey Saturday 19 May, 2-6 pm Level: Intermediate. Ticket cost: ?37.20 CLICK HERE TO BOOK TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reclaimed-materials-ladies-pants-sewing-workshop-tickets-45646561093 In this workshop you will learn to make your own pants using reclaimed jersey material and sewing machines. This is a relatively easy project to make and a good one if you are new to sewing with jersey (stretchy material). However, you should be already comfortable with using a sewing machine in order to be able to focus fully on the specific features of working with jersey. What you will learn: - how to source suitable reclaimed material for making panties - how to work with jersey and fold over elastic using an ordinary household sewing machine - how to work with panties pattern - how to cut fabric and construct your very first pair of panties - what's the trick with the waistband and leg openings - we will also have a brief look at how to create a pattern of panties you already have, so you can reproduce your favorite panties style ad infinitum Materials provided: practically everything you will need. What to bring with you: You can bring your own jersey (the basic t-shirt stretchy fabric, preferably with high content of cotton), the goal is to use reclaimed -- instead of new, store-bought -- materials where possible. You might have some t-shirts in a good condition you never wear (dig deep into your wardrobe!), you may have got your hand on some off cuts, or maybe someone gave you a no longer needed piece of fabric...? If so, bring in your fabric. If not, there will be fabric provided. You can also bring your notebook or a piece of paper in case you are a fan of note-taking (highly recommended). What you will take home: A pair of your own handmade panties, the pattern you used to make them and a life-time panties-making skill you can further develop. Capacity of the workshop: 5
