What You'll Learn

What you'll learn:

The key to long lasting garments is a high quality of make and this workshop will provide plenty of tips that you can take forward in your sewing journey. This workshop will take you through the process of a tricky and detailed fly construction complete with decorative binding (please note this tutorial covers the button fly option, not the zip fly option). You will also learn how to sew a waistband & belt loops, front pockets, patch pockets and overlocked flat seam with topstitching.

These skills will be transferable to any garment you sew and in particular all future pairs of trousers. This is a great option for anyone looking to diversify their skills and make really high quality garments.

Materials Needed

Suitable fabrics: The Worker Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer and the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit. Before you start check you can easily sew through 5 layers of your chosen fabric.

Fabric requirements (Womens): Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.

Fabric width 150cm | Sizes 4 - 12 = 135cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 190cm | Sizes 18 - 28 = 230cm

Fabric width 110cm | Sizes 4 - 12 = 210cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 215cm | Sizes 18 - 28 = 230cm

Materials list: Self fabric, fabric for pocket bags & binding - a 40cm strip of lightweight cotton (any width of fabric), 4 x big buttons (around 2.5-3cm) or 1 x big button and 15cm zip, thread, about 40cm of good quality fusing

Pages to print: Instructions - 26, A4/US Letter - 34, A0 - 2

Fabric requirements (Mens): Fabric width 150cm | Sizes XS2 - M = 200cm | Sizes L - XL3 = 230cm

Fabric width 110cm | Sizes XS2 - M = 220cm | Sizes L - XL3 = 230cm

Upgrading my Sewing and making some great trousers

It was a revelation to watch the workshop on making these trousers , there were so many tips to improve my sewing. Then to actually making the trousers , the careful instructions and guidance really helped.
Initially I had a problem accessing the workshop and Hettie responded quickly and with patience as it was technical stuff at my end.
I would recommend buying the workshop with the pattern, even as an untaught but experienced sewer , you will get so much value and inspiration.

Excellent tutorial and Support

I already make some of my clothes and love sewing. Yet I learnt a lot to improve my general sewing techniques and knowledge from watching the very clear tutorial. I also received wonderful customer support and help with getting the pattern proffesionally printed. I have yet to make the trousers, but I am confident it will all go well , now I am prepared.

BEAUTIFUL, TAILORED TROUSERS THAT TAKE PRIDE OF PLACE IN MY WARDROBE

As an enthusiastic but relatively novice sewer the online workshop was a must for me. Hetty’s clear and calm guidance and thorough explanations of the step by step process of making beautiful, tailored trousers makes the astonishment and pride all the greater once complete. I have now successfully completed both a zip and buttoned fly for the Worker and Daphne trousers and my next project is the Spring trousers. I have gained so much confidence with Hetty’s patterns and workshops and a fully curated wardrobe is now practically within reach.
