Introduction to Fitting - Trousers

Achieving a flawless fit starts with understanding how key areas of a garment shape the body.

This introductory masterclass will focus on four key areas of trousers: waistband, rise, hips, and leg seams, using a mixture of theory and demonstration methods.

In this session, you’ll learn:
- What measurements patterns forget to tell you about
- Simple ways to check if your waistband is sitting correctly
- How to tweak side seams and inseams for comfort and shape
- The secrets to adjusting rise and crotch depth
- Easy pinning and marking techniques
- How to spot and fix common trouser fit issues

This masterclass is for confident garment makers, and is curated for people who want to begin tailoring and altering trousers.

Please note that no sewing machine or equipment is required.
