About the Workshop

Loes Hinse is a staple-player in the wearables world of our little hamlet on the Monterey peninsula. This workshop is a great chance for you and your sewing machine to spend some time with her and learn how to make a simple pair of strait leg, elastic waist pants that fit you perfectly.

Loes will provide her patterns and many pairs of elastic-waist pants to steer this project, helping you figure out your best fit by trying on things and discussing what you need in a perfect pant. Together, you'll draft the pattern to go with your shape.
