Sewing Leggings/Yoga Pants Workshop

Join us for a hands-on experience where you'll gain confidence in working with stretch fabrics and learn the techniques needed to sew your own custom-fit leggings or workout pants. If you've already got the basics down or have completed one of our beginner sewing workshops, this is the perfect next step in your sewing journey.

Bring along your sewing machine and, if you have one, an overlocker to learn how to use it effectively with stretch materials. You will only need a sewing machine, an overlocker is an optional extra that makes sewing stretch even easier. Discover the joy of choosing your own fabrics to suit your style and preferences, ensuring your final garment fits and feels just right for you.

Your tutor will guide you through each step, from selecting patterns and fabrics to cutting, sewing, and finishing. By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have a fabulous new pair of leggings or yoga pants but also the skills and confidence to tackle more sewing projects at home.

Don't miss this opportunity to indulge your creativity and take your sewing skills to the next level. Reserve your spot today and join us for a fun and educational day of sewing your own stylish and comfortable activewear!
