Trousers are one of the hardest garments to fit well. The gaping waistband. The baggy seat. The pulling across the thighs. The hem that never quite sits right.
Sound familiar?
The reason commercial trouser patterns never quite work is the same reason dress patterns don't - they're drafted for a standardised body that almost nobody actually has. Your rise is different. Your hip-to-waist ratio is different. Your body is unique.
The solution isn't a better pattern. It's making your own :)
In this course you'll draft a wide leg trouser block from scratch, entirely to your own measurements. No guessing, no hoping for the best, no more trousers that almost fit.
This course is for you if you've been sewing for a while, have made trousers with a waistband and fly before, and want to understand fit properly.
You need to be curious, motivated, and ok with learning through trial and error.
It's also a brilliant next step if you've already done the dress block course and want to build out your pattern cutting foundations.
How to take the measurements that matter for trouser drafting, and why each one is taken the way it is.
How to draft a wide leg trouser block from scratch using your unique measurements.
How to fit your toile and understand what you're looking at; crotch depth, rise, seat, side seam. All of it, explained simply.
How to translate fitting amendments back to your pattern accurately.
The logic behind trouser construction so you can modify and design from your block with confidence.
A working wide leg trouser block drafted entirely to your measurements.
A fitting method you can use every time you make trousers.
New confidence and understanding when it comes to drafting, fitting and amending trouser patterns.
Trouser foundations meaning you never having to settle for almost fitting trousers again!
