Learn to sew a pair of barrel leg trousers in a weekend.
The Emporia Roan trousers pattern is a barrel leg trouser pattern, which is designed to have a loose and comfy fit for a cool and casual feel. They have a medium rise waist, deep cutaway front pockets, a classic v back yoke, and angled five side pockets at the rear. Top stitching detail on the seams and a fly zip add jeans style detail, but without the faff of making actual jeans.
There is a lot to cover in a weekend so you may need to cut some of your pattern pieces prior to the class. You can wait to cut your fabric till we check fitting.
The pattern is included in the price of the class. If you already have the pattern we can refund the price of the pattern.
Please contact us if you would like to pay in instalments and we can discuss options.

Teacher
Naomi Bancroft
Naomi has been crafting since she was very young. With a grandmother who was a dressmaker, she learnt to sew and knit from a young age. But it was many years later that she rediscovered the joy of sewing when she took up quilting, although it was dressmaking that was to become her true passion. Naomi trained as a teacher and after many years, pursued a diploma in Fashion and Dressmaking with City and Guilds. She has taught sewing and knitting in a number of settings around Brighton. Naomi is a prolific sewer, creating clothes to fit her body and give her the body confidence that ready to wear cannot. She enjoys pattern cutting and creating her own bespoke designs.
