One-Day Trouser Fitting & Design Workshop: From Block to Garment


Take your trouser-making skills to the next level in this focused, hands-on workshop designed for sewists who have already created their own personalised trouser block.


In this 6.5 hour class, you'll:


✅ Adapt your block into a custom trouser style — think tapered, wide-leg, pleated, or elasticated waist
✅ Explore key design details like pockets, waistbands, and fastenings
✅ Begin testing your design in calico to master fit and proportion
✅ Learn how to design for your unique body shape for comfort and style
✅ Get expert support and guidance throughout the entire process


By the end of the day, you'll have a developed trouser pattern and a partially tested toile — ready for refinement and final garment construction at home.


Prefer to focus on techniques? You're welcome to spend the day creating a series of detailed samples instead, that can be developed into full patterns in your own time.

Please note:

• This class is ideal for intermediate sewists looking to deepen their pattern-cutting skills and explore custom trouser design in a creative, supportive environment.
• Class sizes for pattern drafting classes are set to a maximum of 6 students. This means more space in the studio for students and more individual time with the tutor.
