Sewing Series – VOILA! fini!, originally uploaded by zannestar.
I lead a sewing series that meets every month. It started with learning how to use and maintain your sewing machine, then we made a tote bag and now – we made pants!
First we traced an existing pair of pants. With a little help, everyone finessed the pattern, making sure all the curves were good and the lines were straight and seams would match up.
The patterns were then transferred to the fabric and were cut out. Don’t you love Barb’s wrist pin cushion? Her husband gave it to her…true love!
We started sewing. First we sewed the crotch, making sure we went back and reinforced the curved seam with another row of straight stitching. Then we sewed the inseam, folloed by the outseam. The waistband was sized according to everyone’s elastic. Finally the hem of the pants were finished.
Hopefully, I’ll get pictures of all the munchkins wearing their new digs! Our next workshop – Sewing Series#4 – Make a pillow using applique and a zipper. Should be a blast! Hopefully you can make it!
