Are you ready to sew trousers that actually fit your real body, not a pattern envelope fantasy? Join this hands-on trousers fitting workshop in Fort Collins where you’ll learn practical, repeatable fitting steps you can use again and again. This isn’t a “follow along and hope” class. You’ll leave with a custom-fitted trouser pattern and a clear plan for better fit going forward.
What You’ll Learn in This Trousers Sewing Workshop
In this comprehensive trouser fitting workshop, you’ll discover:
- How to choose a trouser pattern and size with confidence (without guessing)
- The LCD method (Length, Circumference, Depth) for dialing in fit in the right order
- How to read wrinkles and drag lines so they actually tell you what to fix
- How to adjust common trouser fit issues like:
- waist gaping
- full tummy or flat tummy needs
- full seat or flat seat
- crotch length and crotch curve issues
- thigh and knee fit
Workshop Details & Registration
Day 1 (Friday 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM): Create your perfectly fitted muslin (test garment) and begin the fitting process. Receive personalized fitting guidance from certified fitting expert Kari Kechter as we identify and pin your specific fit adjustments.
Day 2 (Saturday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM): We’ll refine your fit, finalize your pattern changes, and then move into sewing your trousers with confidence, with continued support to help you get the result you came for.
What’s included:
- $25 value trouser pattern
- All-day expert instruction
- Small class size (max 6) for individualized attention
- Your custom-fitted pattern to take home
Why This Workshop Is Different
Trouser fitting can feel like the hardest thing in garment sewing, mostly because the “why” behind the wrinkles is rarely explained clearly. In this workshop, we slow down, fit your body (not a generic standard), and make changes you can actually understand. You’ll get personal help, clear steps, and a better-fitting result.
Workshop Experience Highlights:
- Expert Personal Attention: Individual fitting guidance from a certified professional
- Small Group: Only 6 spots for lots of one-on-one help
- Hands-On Learning: Fit-first approach with real-time troubleshooting
- Take Home Your Pattern: Your custom-fit pattern is yours to keep!
