Advanced Workshop: Sewing Classic Trousers

In this module of the beginner sewing course, we will focus on sewing classic trousers. The course combines skills from previous beginner courses and incorporates all elements of classic trousers: front pockets, patch pockets at the back, darts for better fit, a classic front zipper, sewing buttonholes, and belt loops. Completing this module provides an excellent foundation for progressing to the next level.

In this course, you will learn to take your own measurements, transfer and adjust a basic pattern, and sew using household and industrial sewing machines. You will also pick up some handy tips for sewing and ironing.

Prerequisites:
YES, prior knowledge is required.

The program is designed for participants aged 14 and older but is not suitable for complete beginners.

• Material Guidelines:

The material for the trousers is included in the course fee and consists of 100% natural linen in turquoise colors or dark blue denim. If you wish to use a different material, you must purchase it yourself. If purchasing fabric, please follow these guidelines:

- The fabric should be woven (not knit) and preferably made from natural fibers. Suitable options include heavier cotton, suiting wool (do not wash), linen, ramie, etc.

- The fabric should NOT contain elastane.

- How much fabric to buy: the length of the trousers + 50 cm. For special patterns (larger hip circumference, extra length, etc.), consult the mentors at the textile lab in advance at tekstil@center-rog.si.

• Prewash the fabric to prevent shrinkage later.
