Learn to make the wildly popular Madrone Pants from Sew Liberated in this 4 session class! The Madrone Pants have a barrel legged silhouette, with curved seams providing dramatic yet soft shaping and generous ease. These pants are made for daily wear, perfect with a tee or tank. Strut your stuff in Madrone and don’t be surprised if someone stops you to ask where you got your fabulous pants!

We’ll cover common pattern alterations in the first class and get started cutting. This class will have homework – the amount will depend on how much is finished in class. Sewing curved seams, creating pockets, topstitching with precision, facings & waistbands – we are packing a lot of skills into these pants and Shaerie will explain them all in detail. Bring your pattern and washed / pressed fabric to the first class, and we'll go over the rest of the supplies to purchase for the second class.

Skill level: intermediate – you have made a garment or two, are comfortable setting up your machine and have used a sewing pattern before.
