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.
