Learn to sew a pair of fly front trousers - the Tilly and the Button Thea Trousers
Are you looking to sew the ultimate pair of me made trousers? During this one day workshop you will make a stunning pair of Tilly and the Buttons Thea trousers, a fabulous wardrobe staple.
A great addition to your handmade wardrobe, the Thea trousers can be customised to your style and skill level.
The Theas are on trend wide leg, high waisted trousers with a choice of full-length or cropped hem. Learn to achieve a great shape with a curved waistband and back darts and finish off with executing a zip fly and button fastening.
You’ll want to wear your me made Theas day in, day out.
On the day, due to time restrictions you will sew up a version that omits the front pockets and welt pockets. Patch pockets can be added at the end if time allows or at home after the workshop.
