Beginner Course: Linen elastic pants

For beginners who are new to sewing their own clothes - we organise a beginners' sewing course at Center Rog.

Join us for a 3-day sewing course where you will learn the basics of sewing on an industrial sewing machine. You'll learn the basics of adapting a simple pattern to your measurements, how to place the pieces correctly on the fabric, cut, prepare and sew them into the finished product. In this edition of the sewing course, you will learn how to cut and sew linen with elastic pants that will keep you cozy and warm until the end of winter and early spring.

We'll also show you little tricks like how to stabilise the paw on the sewing machine, how to iron edges more easily, methods to assemble and sew cut pieces as accurately as possible, etc.

Making supplies:

Making supplies are included in the price! In the textile lab, we have several different types of fabric available that are suitable for making long pants. Turquoise linen or dark blue denim are available. If you wish, you can bring your own fabric. We recommend that you choose natural, non-slip fabrics, as these are easier to sew and more comfortable to wear. Be sure to wash the fabric beforehand, as it will shrink during the first wash!

If you are interested, don't wait! Join us and make your first pair of pants!
