Sew the Chanterelle Pants (or shorts!) and gain new sewing skills! We will choose our size and style, learn basic length and fit adjustments, as well as construction skills for elastic waistbands, patch pockets, and fusible interfacing. Students should be comfortable setting up their machine, maintaining a seam allowance, and have familiarity with basic sewing terms. We will cut our pattern pieces and fabric together in class. If you are using a PDF pattern, please come with your pattern pieces assembled.

Instructor: Erin West

Materials:

The Chanterelle pattern from Sew Liberated (Paper Copy or PDF available from the designer)

Light to midweight woven fabric for your size (Prewashed!)

1/4 yd fusible light to midweight interfacing (like SF101)

1-1.5 yds of 2" waistband elastic

A fresh machine needle suitable for your fabric

Thread to match (all-purpose)

Your working sewing machine (or rent one of ours)

You may want to bring your own basic sewing kit (fabric shears, clear ruler, tape measure, straight pins, seam gauge, seam ripper) but we do have shared tools available for use in the classroom.
