THE OTHER ULTIMATE PULL-ON JEAN WORKSHOP (two days)
Tuesday & Wednesday April 15th & 16th, 10:30 am – 4:30 pm
$350.00 + HST
If you have not sewed fitted pants before this is the workshop to start out with!!! The Jalie “Eleonore” is a great stretch pull-on jean (long or cropped) with an extra wide waistband. It has the details of a jean yoke and back patch pockets, with the details of a faux front pocket and fly front, which is a sharp detail. Students will try on the jeans that have been made up in a stretch woven denim with 20% stretch on the cross grain. Ron has sewn the 15 different sizes (4-22) in the “Eleonore” for you to try, so all necessary pattern fitting adjustments are made to the pattern before you cut the fabric. Ron then will identify your fitting problems and give you the necessary alterations (flat seat, protruding seat, low seat, knock/bowed legs, gaping waistband, length, etc.) for your jeans before cutting into your pattern.
