Worker Trouser Workshop

I have really enjoyed watching and sewing my trousers along with the Worker Trouser Workshop. The Workshop video is very well produced with close ups of the trickier elements of construction, like the fly and crotch area, so you can see exactly what to do. There are subtitles and chapter headings which make negotiating the video very easy. Hetty's explanations are very clear and I learnt so much just by watching how she handles the fabric through the sewing machine and her methodical approach to garment making. I have been inspired to tidy my sewing room (box room!) and to keep the sewing table clear when sewing and I now have my snips to hand. I've even bought a new iron (and table top ironing board) so I can steam press the fabric pieces with more precision! I just have the waistband and hem to sew to finish the trousers.
I learnt to sew during the pandemic. I am not a natural and found many aspects of the sewing process very difficult. This video has improved my skill set and I am keen to sew more high quality, well fitted garments which I am proud to say 'I made it myself'!

As is the theme with all MS products, Hetty has done a great job on creating this pattern & video as well. I didn’t originally create this as part of my trouser workshop / bundle as I’m not yet as confident sewing pants. I purchased the video along with the men’s pattern as I only have the women’s pattern with my bundled workshop (from a legacy purchase!). The video instructions are insanely helpful for someone at my skill level. I recommend the video with the patterns for anyone interested in making these & unsure of their skills - it is very worth the cost and it’s a versatile pattern. Thank you as always, Hetty!

I used this tutorial to do the men's Worker Trousers. It was great; it made me feel super confident in sewing these up.
