Trouser/Pant/Jeans Construction Workshop with Kenneth D. King



This workshop covers Kenneth's method of trouser construction.  We will be making a SAMPLE TROUSERS, and the pattern will be included with the class.

Beginning with the patternmaking needed to create all of the pieces for the different details, we will continue with construction.  This information will allow you to create the pieces using the sample trousers/pants/jean pattern you own.

Construction includes two types of front side pockets--one with a stay, one without.  Next we sew the back darts and construct the back trouser single-welt pocket. Then the fly front zipper is installed.

The trouser pieces are sewn together, the waistband is constructed and installed, and the final class covers the finishing and pressing.
