Ever looked at someone in a great pair of pants and thought, “Damn, how’d they get those to look SO good?” The short answer - they probably had those pants tailored. An even better answer? They had those pants custom made.
Now, we know bespoke apparel just isn’t a realistic budget line for most folx and we also truly believe in investing in the next generation of sewists and tailors. In this class, you will learn every step of the process to making your very own fully-custom, made-to-measure, tailored trousers. By the end of this four-week class series, you will not only have a beautiful pair of pants to wear for years to come, you will have gained priceless skills for building your custom wardrobe from scratch.
