Meets Sunday, March 8 and 15 from 1 - 4 PM
This class is part of our series for 2026, a slow fashion year, where we tackle sewing some of the building blocks of our wardrobe. The Pomona Pants are a breezy, lightweight, elastic-waisted pattern with options for tapered and wide legs (wide leg pictured here). They are a great gateway into pants-making without the fuss (yet!) of zippers, buttons, or other closures. The pattern also includes an option for shorts if you prefer something for warmer days!
We’ll spend the first session taking measurements and gathering information about our bodies to inform our sewing practice; this includes the destigmatization of the standard sizing system - this is a very body-supportive class! We’ll then trace our pattern sizes and prepare our fabrics. The second session will be dedicated to sewing slowly and carefully with seam finishes to make our clothing last.
Basic sewing knowledge required (threading your bobbin/machine, straight seams, seam-picking, etc.); we will not be teaching foundational sewing skills. Machines and tools provided. Please print a copy of the digital pattern following the print-shop guidelines so you don’t have to tape pieces. An email will go out in advance of class with information about fabric so you can source what you’d like to use!
*Note: if you’re interested in simple pants construction but do not want to make these pants, you are welcome to bring a pattern for sewing pajama bottoms.
