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.
