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!

Ready to Sew Trousers That Fit?

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring my own sewing machine?
Yes, please bring your own sewing machine, needles, bobbins, and matching thread. This helps you get comfortable with your own equipment!

Is this workshop suitable for beginners?
If you know how to thread your machine and sew a basic seam, you’ll do great! Some sewing experience is helpful, and I’ll guide you step-by-step through the fitting process.

What’s included in the workshop fee?
Your registration includes a $25 value trousers pattern, personalized fitting guidance, and hands-on instruction for both days, and help creating a custom-fitted trouser pattern.

How many students are in the class?
Class size is limited to 6 students for lots of personal attention.

Note: Cancellations made within 14 days of the workshop are non-refundable, since patterns and supplies need to be ordered in advance.
