6pm–9pm
$260


Learn to sew the Closet Core Rika Trousers! The Rikas are high rise (sitting just below the natural waist), with angled front pockets, a fly front zipper, and a straight leg, and feature a tailored trouser option and a workwear-inspired option. Sew your perfect pants for fall!

    • how to thread and use a sewing machine

    • basic sewing vocabulary

    • sewing a straight line and maintaining a seam allowance

    • hemming

    While the Rika trousers are a very approachable pant pattern, fitted trousers are a complex project that we would not recommend as a first project. We therefore recommend that you have made at least one pair of elastic waist/drawstring pants before class.

    • constructing a zipper fly

    • constructing a waistband

    • assembling a pair of fitted trousers

This is a Level 2 class. You’ll find more information about our class levels here!
