Intro to Garment Sewing: Free Range Slacks Weekend Intensive
About
A weekend garment-sewing intensive in which you make a pair of elastic-waist Free Range Slacks on the shop's BERNINA machines; you need basic machine-sewing skills, and the pattern, 2–5 yards of woven fabric, elastic and thread are bought separately. At Brooklyn Craft Company in Greenpoint (165 Greenpoint Ave, or its Annex at 37 Greenpoint Ave #105, shown when you book), near Greenpoint Av on the G. $195 for ten hours of instruction: Saturday 7 November, 3:30–6:30pm, and Sunday 8 November, 11am–6pm. It is the only garment-sewing course on our calendar; every other sewing listing we have is a single-evening bag or pouch project.

New to textiles?
Textile classes range from weaving on a frame or rigid-heddle loom to embroidery, knitting, crochet, natural dyeing, felting and sewing a first garment.
- Check whether the class is for complete beginners or assumes you can already cast on or thread a machine.
- Single sessions usually make something small: a wall hanging, a hoop, a dyed scarf.
- Bring reading glasses if you use them; most fibre work is close-up.
Taking it home: Usually the same day. Larger pieces may be finished at home with the yarn or thread you leave with.
