Intermediate Series Part 2 :: The Pants

When you're ready to level up your garment-making skills, this series is a great next step! Over the course of five or six sessions, you'll be guided through making a complete outfit, while learning all kinds of garment construction tips and tricks from our experienced instructors. 

This class is part two of the series, where you'll make a pair of pants. 

This class is all about intermediate garment making skills, will require some homework, and moves at a fast pace. This is not a fitting class. 

**Please be sure of your schedule before registering, as these classes must be taken in order, and scheduling a make-up lesson before the next class can be difficult (class make-up lesson rate is $45/hour).**
