Loveland Yoga Pants Sewing Workshop: What You’ll Learn
In this comprehensive yoga pants fitting workshop, you’ll discover:

First, how to choose a pants pattern and size with confidence (without guessing)
Then, how to use 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
As well as, how to adjust common pants 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

Loveland Yoga Pants Sewing Workshop: Details & Registration
Day 1 (Friday 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM): First you’ll create your perfectly fitted mock-up (test garment) and and then 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): Next, we’ll refine your fit, finalize your pattern changes, and then move into sewing your yoga pants with confidence, with continued support to help you get the result you came for.

What’s included:

$25 value yoga pants pattern
Two-day expert instruction
Small class size (max 6) for individualized attention
Your custom-fitted pattern to take home

Why This Workshop Is Different
Pants 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!
