Skill Level: Intermediate

Class Dates:  Saturdays, January 9 + 16 - 10am-4pm

Meet your new favorite bottoms - the Flaneur Pants by Friday Pattern Co.  Perfect for all your adventures, Flaneur offers a wide-leg, mid-rise fit and features a zip fly with a flat front and elasticated back. They do not have a side seam, making them easier to cut and sew as well as making them perfect for sewing in printed fabrics!

The Flaneur feature patch pockets on the back and additional optional pockets at sides.  The fit is comfortable and flexible - size up for a relaxed, slighly oversized pant, or size down for a more fitted garment.

Pattern includes sizes XS to 7X.

In this class, students will learn pants construction and practice skills including sewing an elastic waist, sewing patch pockets, sewing a zip fly, and hemming. This class is suitable for intermediate level students with prior garment sewing experience. Graduates of our Garment 101 class are encouraged to give these pants a go!
