WORKSHOP: Sew Rose Pants 11/14 & 11/15

Sew your own pants (or shorts, or crop pants) using the Rose Sewing Pattern. Learn how to sew pockets, pleats, a partial-elastic waistband, seam finishes, and - if time permits - some pants fitting tips in this workshop at Rae's studio in downtown Ann Arbor. Arrive with your pieces pre-cut; optional BONUS cutting sessions will be offered at the studio on Friday evening, November 10 7-9p or cut your pieces out at home. 

This is a 5 hour in-person workshop taught by Rae Hoekstra.

DATE: Tuesday/Wednesday, November 14 & 15, 2023
TIMES: 6:30 - 9p (2 session workshop)

You will need: Rose Sewing Pattern and fabric (precut your fabric pieces out prior to arrival), 1.5" wide or 3/4" wide elastic, less than 1/2 yard fusible interfacing for waistband, your sewing machine and tools (see list below), coordinating thread.
