About this Event
Get the perfect fit for your favorite pants! Join our hands-on sewing workshop led by Danesha Anglin, and learn how to take in the waist using darts for a more tailored, customized fit.
Step into the Mood Fabrics Atlanta Showroom for an engaging, hands-on sewing session! In this interactive class, you will learn how to use darts to deal with the excess fabric in the waist of your pants while maintaining their overall shape and fit. These techniques are a great solution for pants that fit well through the hips and legs but have unwanted gaping or extra room at the waist.
What You’ll Do
- Learn how to assess the fit of your pants and determine how much excess needs to be removed.
- Learn how to properly mark and position darts for a balanced, flattering fit.
- Learn how to press and finish your darts for a clean, professional-looking result.
- Gain confidence using your sewing machine to make simple garment alterations.
- Hands on: Practice sewing darts to shape the waist and remove excess fabric, as much as time allows.
What to Bring
Please bring one pair of pants that fits well through the hips and legs but is too loose at the waist. Pants should have enough room at the waist to comfortably take in using darts. All necessary sewing tools, machines, and standard matching threads are fully provided for the workshop but feel free to bring your own thread for an exact match.
If your garment requires specialty thread or additional supplies, those items may be available for purchase in the showroom on the day of the class. Your ticket reservation converts to a $5 credit to use toward your purchase.
