PROJECT
In this class you will sew a pair of custom-fit jeans in a two day intensive class, with a focus on fit and professional looking construction. You will use Megan Nielsen's Dawn Jeans pattern to sew a pair of high waisted, non stretch jeans with the choice of three different leg options - straight, tapered or wide. The pattern will be posted to you prior to the class so you can make the necessary preparations. The class will be taught by Hannah and Rosie of The New Craft House.
WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?
This workshop is suitable for an intermediate or confident beginner sewist who is excited to make jeans, but needs a little encouraging hand holding and fitting advice. You should be comfortable using a sewing machine and sewing patterns.

WHAT DO PAST STUDENTS SAY?
"I cannot believe that I actually left the workshop, as promised, with a perfect fitting pair of jeans. The two teachers were amazing and with endless patience for a student as needy as I am. Honestly, it was my birthday weekend and there could not have been a better way to have spent it. Thank you"
