Level 2 Skills: Flex Waistband, Hidden Zipper Closure Welt Pockets



Create a pair of woven pants with a flex waistband that keeps you comfortable while standing or sitting, a zip fly with a hidden closure, front slash pockets, straight legs, and back welt pockets.

In this class, we will be focusing on three garment sewing construction techniques: 

  • Flex Waistband
  • Hidden Zipper Closure
  • Welt Pockets

The pattern selected for this class is designed to fit women sizes 0 - 32.

PLEASE NOTE: Not all sewing machines are able to handle heavyweight fabrics! If you do not own a sewing machine or need a stronger machine for this project, we have the Baby Lock Presto II sewing machine available for use.

PLEASE NOTE: Independent work outside of the classroom is a core part of Level 2 classes. If you are unable to complete construction tasks before each session, you will fall behind on hands-on construction. There are no make-up or refunds on missed sessions.
