Description:
Get ready for summer by sewing up your own pair of shorts! You will leave this 3 hour class with a pair of comfy, elastic waist shorts and the know-how to use the same technique to make pants. These shorts are designed by the teacher for any gender and are based on your hip measurement. We’ll learn to use a technique called low or zero-waste pattern making. Low-waste pattern making is a technique to minimize the amount of odd-shaped, hard to use scraps. Low-waste leaves you with more rectangular scraps for reuse on other projects.
In this class, you’ll learn:
How to draft a low or zero-waste shorts pattern
How to sew patch pockets
