Make the Bob Trouser: Tuesday February 25th, 10-4.30pm

The Bob Pants have become a Betty’s staple, they are THE new shape (barrel) – incredibly easy to wear and flattering, Hannah has a few pattern hacks to make them even better! A great pattern to do for novice sewers, Hannah will share her tips and tricks on how to make these super comfy and stylish ‘Bob’ pants from Stylarc. Perfect for using heavier denim or from our extensive collection of linen.

This would suit a beginner sewer who has basic sewing knowledge (or done our ‘this is a machine’ course).

What you will learn:

• An intro to commercial patterns
• Measuring and choosing the right size for you
• Assembling a pattern
• Pattern marking
• Cutting out the fabric according to the pattern
• Seam techniques
• Attaching a facing

What you will need:

• Fabric: we encourage attendees to buy fabric from Betty’s as we have sourced material to suit our patterns, it is always reasonably priced and we offer a 15% discount.

Level: Dressmaking beginners, but must already know how to use a sewing machine

The pattern isn’t included but can be purchased in the shop.

Snacks and a light lunch are included.

Please be willing to visit the shop in advance to try on our samples in order to get the correct size and choose fabric.

You are welcome to bring your own fabric; however, we know our own fabric at Betty’s will work with our patterns. We can’t be held responsible if the fabric attendees bring is not suitable (e.g., synthetics, non-woven). Feel free to contact us to discuss.
