Sew Pants that Fit and Flatter: A Peek inside the Video
Follow along on your sewing machine as Marta Alto demonstrates how to sew a simple fitted pant with an invisible zipper and a rolled trouser with pleats and pockets. Both workshops are designed to demonstrate a number of important sewing techniques and as always Marta provides wonderful commentary on tips and tricks as she works. Lots of time spent both at the pattern cutting table and behind the sewing machine makes this workshop a wonderful way to get started sewing pants that fit and flatter as well as brushing up on techniques if you are advanced or teaching a class.
Sew Pants That Fit & Flatter video class featuring Marta Alto is a companion to our book, Pants for Real People and the sequel to the video workshop, Fit Pants to your Body.
We suggest if you plan to take this video class with Marta to buy one of our McCall’s Pattern Company pants patterns, available on our main website.
