Sepia Pants, View B (Closet Core): May 2026 Garment of the Month

Class Supply List & Pre-Work Document

The Sepia Pants feature a clever design that blends style and comfort. In class, we’ll be sewing View B, the wide leg version — our Garment Club voted and the wide leg won!

This view includes functional double front pockets, topstitched back pockets, and a fluted paperbag-edge elastic waistband with an optional drawstring for a customizable fit. If you plan on adding the drawstring, you must have a basic understanding of how to make buttonholes with your machine.

In class, you’ll learn the basics of elastic waist pants construction, topstitching, bartacking, and inserting elastic for a clean, polished finish.

In this class, we’ll focus on construction rather than fit. We’ll discuss common fit adjustments you can make after sewing your first pair, so plan to make your first version in fabric you like — but maybe not your most precious pick (it might turn out great, but better safe than sorry!).

You’ll also leave with resources to continue working on pants fitting at home.

Recommended Fabric:
Light- to midweight linen, chambray, and broadcloth, Lightweight denim, twill, and canvas (under 10 oz) or a cotton/linen blend. The sample in the shop is made of Speckled Canvas by Ruby Star.
