The Trouser Fitting Workshop

A small group, hands on day designed to help you understand, diagnose and adjust your own trouser pattern with confidence.

If you’ve ever sewn a pair of trousers and thought:

“Why are they pulling there?” or “Is it the rise?” or "why is this pouch here?"

You’re not alone.

Trouser fitting has a reputation for being complicated, technical and slightly intimidating.

Most people either avoid it… or keep making adjustments without really knowing why.

This workshop is here to help.

I’ve teamed up with William Gee to bring you a focused, hands-on day dedicated entirely to understanding how trousers function on the body, and how to make them fit you.

This isn’t about random pinning.

It’s about understanding what you’re seeing and knowing exactly what to do next.

Date: 22nd March 2026

What You’ll Learn

By the end of the day, you will:

• Recognise what common fitting issues are really telling you
