Teen's Parachute Trousers
These voluminous pull-on trousers with authentic styling details contain plenty of new skills for those who have reached intermediate sewing level. They have roomy front pockets, self-fabric drawstrings in the waistband and hems, functional knee-tucks and a mock-fly detail, all of which fashion-conscious teens will happily welcome into their wardrobe and enjoy to sew. These are flattering, practical and totally on-trend!
This intermediate level workshop is suited to those confident to use a sewing machine who have been sewing for at least one year and who either attend one of our FASHIONSKOOL clubs or have previously completed several clothing projects.
You'll learn how to prepare your fabric, pin, cut-out and stitch the trousers using an exclusive FASHIONSKOOL paper pattern provided in your chosen size and pick up lots of useful sewing tips whilst joining the pieces together using a sewing machine, make buttonholes and finish seams neatly with the opportunity of using an over locker.
Please refer to the sizing options to choose your size and state your requirement when booking so that a pattern can be prepared for you:
Available in Teen's sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12
For this workshop you will need to provide your own fabric. Constructed in plain or printed woven fabric; these trousers work brilliantly in 100% cotton poplin, light to medium weight denim, linen (as shown), or cotton sateen. N.B.: When choosing a print please avoid 1-direction prints, obvious checks or horizontal stripes that will need matching as well as slippery polyester or man-made fibre fabrics.
Fabric length requirements are provided when booking.
Equipment, threads and light refreshments are all provided.
Please bring a packed lunch. Please also bring slippers/soft indoor shoes/grippy socks to wear.
