Anyone who wants to learn how to draft their own trousers from scratch!

- Those tired of store-bought trousers that don’t fit properly
What will I study in this class?
In this course, you will learn how to take your own body measurements and draft a basic trouser block that fits you. This is a hands-on, practical class that also teaches you how to sew and fit a toile (test garment). Here's what we’ll cover:
- How to take accurate trouser measurements
- Drafting your front and back trouser block
- Understanding darts, crotch curves, and leg shaping
- Cutting and sewing your toile
- Fitting and adjusting your toile for a great fit
You will leave with a completed personalised trouser block and a fitted muslin toile to build from.
What makes this course special?
This is a focused, fashion-forward course designed to give you a proper foundation in trouser drafting. It’s hands-on, fun, and deeply satisfying. You’ll learn industry-standard techniques in a warm, friendly setting — and leave with a block you can use again and again.
What do I need to bring to this class?

But if you prefer to use your own sewing machine, feel free to bring it along!
