A rite of passage for most garment sewists, the ever-useful lounge pant. It's a great first sew, and this pattern even has pockets! Together, we'll read the unisex adult pattern, cut the fabric and sew. Sarah will guide you through the entire process. The pattern does have some limitations, it's fairly straight yet relaxed in style, and has the following body measurements ranges: waist 28"-44" and hip 35"-49".
Foundational Skills taught:
How to read a pattern
How to cut out fabric from pattern paper
Using prints, plaids
Finding the grainline
Inserting an elastic waistband
