Sew the perfect everyday stretchy knickers at this workshop, suitable for confident beginners and more experienced sewers!

Guided by our friendly and experienced teachers, you'll learn basic underwear-making techniques to further your sewing skills. You'll leave this sewing class with a pair of comfy handmade knickers, plus a digital copy of the pattern so that you can make more at home.

• Who's it for?

  This course is suitable for confident beginners who know how to use a sewing machine and more experienced sewers.

  It's a great follow on from our Learn to Sew: Make A Skirt or Learn To Sew: Casual Basics, or for home sewers who want to further their skills. 

• What you'll Learn

  In this course, you’ll learn:
  

  • How to sew from simple patterns 

  • How to sew stretchy fabric

  • How to use elastic for a fun and practical finish to your edges

  • How to sew a knicker gusset

• Materials & Equipment

  We have a selection of fabrics and trims in the studio which you can purchase from us. If you would like to bring your own fabric you will need:

  • Stretchy fabric with a minimum of 20% stretch. This pattern is a great opportunity to use up your stretchy scrap fabrics, as long as they are big enough for front and back pieces. Woven fabric will not work for this project.

  • Elastic - 1.5m. We will have black and white elastic with a fold over and scalloped edge. You’re welcome to bring your own elastic in the colours of your choosing.

• About the pattern

  We will be using Paper Theory's "Stevie Knickers" pattern

  The pattern comes in sizes 6 - 20. We have adapted the pattern up to size 24 - 26.

  We can also make alterations to give you a higher waist.

  After the class, a digital copy of the pattern will be sent to you so that you can make more at home.

  Advanced sewers can opt to make period pants which require trickier techniques and specialist fabric. Please get in touch with us before the course if you would like to make period pants.
