Morris Pants Virtual Workshop

$275.00

If you weren’t able to come to one of the UK Retreats with me, this workshop is the next best thing! Join me to make the Morris Pants, one of the three patterns I designed as part of the UK Collection. Learn every single element live with me, one step at a time!!

The Morris pants have a high fitted waist, narrow waistband with button tab, & lapped side zipper. The front is clean & flat, while the back has darts & optional welt pockets with a button closure. The legs of the pants are slightly tapered & cropped, & are finished at the hem with an optional side split vent. The legs of the shorts are wider than the pants, & land just above the knee. Mix & match the elements you like for wide leg pants or shorts, or tapered leg pants, with or without side seam vents.

This is a 6-part class, with 11 hours of class time.

SUPPLY LIST:

  • The Morris Pants pattern (bust 32-57”) by Christine Haynes Patterns (me!).

  • 1 3/4 - 3 1/2 yards of medium & bottom weight non-stretch woven fabrics. Required yardage depends on the size being sewn, the view chosen, & the width of your fabric. Ideal fabrics are linen, twill, lightweight canvas, wool, baby wale corduroy, & light to medium weight denim are good options. If you select wool, keep in mind that these are not lined. Lighter fabrics like medium weight crisp shirting & yarn dyed cottons also work well, but will have less structure. 

    • Also note: pants rarely fit perfectly out of the envelope, so if you’d like to use muslin, that is always a smart idea! This will allow you to focus on the techniques, then use the test version to solve any fitting issues for your “real” pair.

  • 3/4 yard of lining fabric for the welt pocket bag. A lightweight lining fabric is ideal, like bemberg rayon, polyester, silk, or cotton lawn. You want to minimize bulk as much as possible for the pockets.

  • 1 - 1 3/4 yard of lightweight woven fusible interfacing

  • Thread

  • One 10” or longer regular coil non-separating zipper. We suggest a #3 size zipper, as it has a smaller zipper pull. Please note: the zipper is intentionally too long & will be trimmed in the construction process. 

  • Three 1/2” flat buttons

  • One trouser hook & eye set

TOOL LIST:

  • Sewing machine with straight stitches & the ability to sew buttonholes. A zigzag stitch or serger will be needed for finishing raw edges.

  • Iron & ironing board

  • Ironing tools - pressing ham & sleeve board or sleeve roll

  • Sewing needle for your fabric weight & type

  • Hand sewing needle for buttons

  • Full sized scissors & small scissors for trimming (highly recommended)

  • Seam gauge or small ruler

  • Water soluble marking tool

  • Clear ruler, at least 2” x 18” (for putting your pattern pieces on grain during cutting)

  • Flexible tape measure

Please note: tools & supplies are sold separately & are not included in the class fee

SKILL LEVEL:

  • Advanced beginner / intermediate: This pattern is rated intermediate, but with the help of the workshop, this is also appropriate for an advanced beginner who has sewn a number of beginner projects in the past & wants to take on something a little more difficult. Skipping elements like the side seam vent & welt pockets makes the pattern more beginner friendly. Please note this is not a “learn to sew” class.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Creating & sewing darts

  • Sewing welt pockets with button & buttonhole

  • Edgestitching & topstitching

  • Side seam vents at the hem

  • Lapped side zipper

  • Buttons & buttonholes

  • Working with interfacing

  • Clipping & grading seams

  • Using a commercial sewing pattern

  • Reading & understanding commercial sewing pattern instructions

  • Printing & assembling a digital sewing pattern

  • Taking your measurements

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP DETAILS:

  • Workshops are taught by me, Christine Haynes, live from my home studio

  • Attendance is limited to ensure personal one-on-one attention

  • Workshops are led virtually through Zoom, a free video conferencing software that can be downloaded here

  • Students will need access to a computer, smart phone, or tablet with internet access to participate in the workshop (note: the bigger your screen, the easier it is to see the action!)

  • I teach using two cameras, so you can always see a close up of each step being taught, as well as have face to face interaction

  • A Zoom link & password will be emailed a day ahead of the first class session to the email address used in checkout, so be sure to type your email correctly upon checkout

  • Workshop sessions will be recorded so students that get behind, or need to miss a session, can rewatch the previous lesson & catch up

  • The focus of my workshops is on construction & technique. Fit is discussed, but due to the nature of Zoom workshops, fitting instruction is limited

Return Policy: Please note that there are no returns or refunds on workshops. The number of students is limited to ensure a good learning experience for each student, so when you reserve your spot, that is held for you, whether you attend or not. If you cannot attend the classes live during their scheduled time, students will still be able to learn by following along with the workshop recordings. Thank you for understanding!
