Frequently Asked Questions

I'm psyched about making my own trousers! How do I get started?

To get sewing, choose your pattern and pattern format at the top of this page to add the class to your cart. Once you check out, you'll be automatically enrolled in your class on our class platform called Mighty Networks. The link to login to the class will be sent to you via email. Please check your spam folder if you don't receive it after finalizing your purchase.

When does this class start and finish?

The beauty of Closet Core Patterns’ online classes is that you call the shots on when they begin and end. Learn to Sew Trousers is a completely self-paced online class, which means you get to decide when you start, when you finish, and how many times you replay it.

What will I need to get started?

In the class we’ll share a complete supply list, along with information about where and how to source everything on said list. At the very least, you’ll need a sewing machine (serger optional), iron, fabric, lining for your pockets, pants zipper, thread, button, and interfacing.

How long does the class take to complete?

It’s up to you! To give you an idea of how long the class is start to finish, the video runs just over 6 hours long and comprises 8 lessons total. Since we cover the construction of multiple patterns, you'll be able to skip around to relevant sections for you. Binge watch them in a weekend, or do a little at a time. You can return to the class as many times as you’d like, and there’s no time limit for you to complete in.

How do I get my patterns?

You can choose your pattern in either a PDF format (which you can print at home or at a copy shop) or print patterns we'll ship directly to you. If you select the PDF format, you'll be able to download your patterns immediately after checkout, or by using the download link sent to you via email. Print patterns will be shipped in 5-10 days.

Can I use any trousers pattern for this class?

This class focuses on construction and technique, and while we use Closet Core patterns to demonstrate on camera, you can follow along using absolutely any trousers pattern you prefer, including a mens pattern.

How long can I access the class?

All day, ‘erryday. But for real, this class includes lifetime access. After you enroll, the class is yours, which means you’ve got unlimited access for as long as you like, across all devices for all of eternity.

Sewing pants is now so easy

I feel like a professional. I have made pants for myself and my husband, making modifications to the patterns according to what I learned with the course, and they turned out perfect and it was so easy.

Just like my Grandma

I took the pants class because I wanted to make pants, without an elastic waist, that fit and were beautiful. That is what I was able to make with the tips in the class. Usually when I sew I try to think of what my Grandma would say, but the reception is not always clear. In this class I got advice on zippers, buttons (two of my biggest fears), serger techniques, finishes that look professional, pattern altering. My pants are a little big but that is because I did not follow the advice to baste fit them. I am starting another pair, with a size smaller waist, but I will still wear the other ones.
