What to expect

Over the weekend you be guided through the process of making yourself a lovely pair of Bob Pants from Style Arc. Bob Pants is the perfect beginners trouser pattern. It has a universally flattering balloon/barrel style leg shape which is loose and forgiving so no nightmares with fitting.

This course is suitable for absolute beginners. We will go through all the techniques needed and you will be given support at every stage in the construction from choosing your size, cutting out, sewing together and finishing seams.

The cost of this course includes a pdf  or paper copy of the pattern.

What to bring?

Machines, equipment and elastic will all be provided. You will just need to choose some lovely fabric to make your trousers in. On booking, you will receive details on what fabric to bring (pre-washed).  No need to bring your own sewing machine (unless you would prefer to).

Please note that everyone works at a different rate. We will endeavour to ensure that everyone completes their trousers over the two days but we cannot guarantee this.
