Level: Confident Beginners with some dressmaking experience
If you know how to use a sewing machine and have tried your hand at basic garment sewing, this workshop is an ideal opportunity to build your skills further. The Style Arc Bob Pants are a cult classic in the sewing community as they are effortlessly cool and look great on everyone! Bobs have an elastic waistband, in-seam pockets and a gentle balloon shape, and look fabulous sewn in a wide range of light to medium weight fabrics.
The workshop fee includes your own copy of the paper pattern, so you can make more at home. Please note we’ll be using the standard sizes on the pattern and won’t be covering pattern adjustments during the day. The pattern is available in 2 ranges - UK 4-16 or 18-30 and we will help you check your body measurements against the size chart to pick the correct size during the class.
