Sewing: Chantrelle Pants or Shorts







Sewing:  The Chanterelle Pants or Shorts
With Rachel McLaren
Tuesdays, 5/20 and 5/27; 6 PM - 8:30 PM
$95 + supplies (pattern included)

The Chanterelle Pants and Shorts are the casual bottoms that can take a starring role in your wardrobe – dressed up in bright colors and fancy fabrics, casual in lightweight denim, or easy and cozy in soft fabrics. Featuring a comfortable and easy-to-fit elastic waist, wide leg, barrel leg, and shorts views, Chanterelle will fill any gap in your wardrobe and be an all-seasons piece for years to come. (Rachel has made 3 pairs already!). Pattern includes sizes 0-34.

 
View A is a dramatically wide-leg, full-length pant with an elastic waist, inset front pockets, and back patch pockets. View A has more design ease than Views B and C.

View B is an easy-fitting pull-on pant with an elastic waist, patch pockets on the front and back, and a playful cropped leg silhouette shaped with a pleat and a cuff at the ankle.

View C is a pair of shorts with the same ease, waistband, and patch pockets as View B, and a 3″ – 4″ (7.5 – 10cm) inseam.

*Please come to class with your fabric washed and pieces cut out. 

*If you come to class with your pattern cut out it maximizes your working time in class. If you need help choosing your pattern size or need assistance with cutting we are always happy to help! You are welcome to come into Home Ec Workshop to cut out anytime except when there’s a class going on in the workshop.

 You may need to work on these pants outside of class time in order to finish.  You are always welcome to use the workshop at Home Ec. if needed between classes.

Supplies Needed:  Fabric (Light to medium weight woven fabric...cotton, linen, cotton/linen blends, rayon linen blend, chambray),1/4 yd of lightweight fusible interfacing, either woven or non-woven. 2" wide waistband elastic (1-1.5 yards depending on size being made).  

 

 

 

The drape or hand of the fabric will impact the look of the final garment. Softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics will emphasize the leg shaping. Recommended fabrics are opaque, and range in weight from 4.8 oz to 7.9 oz (155 – 268 GSM).

 

 

 

Basic sewing kit (pins, thread, marking pen, scissors, seam ripper, bobbin (please purchase bobbins from Home Ec if you will be using the machines in the workshop-not all bobbins fit in our machines).
