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 intermediate sewers through the process of a tricky and detailed zip fly construction complete with decorative binding. You will also learn how to sew waistband, patch pockets and overlocked flat seam with topstitching. These skills will be transferable to any garment you sew, in particular all future pairs of trousers.

Construction techniques: Zip fly construction with flat binding finishing, one-piece waistband, flat felled seam, patch pockets & ankle cuff construction or hem.
Suitable fabrics: The Daphne Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Tougher fabrics will give you a closer fit to the body (although before starting check you can easily sew through 5 layers of the fabric) and lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer as the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit.
Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
Fabric width 150cm | Sizes 4 - 12 = 200cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 235cm
Fabric width 110cm | Sizes 4 - 12 = 225cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 265cm
Materials list: Self fabric, a small length of bias binding binding (optional), 18-20cm zip, 1 x button (around 2.5-3cm), thread, about 20cm of good quality fusing
