Here's your chance to customize pants to your body! In this workshop you will fit a toile of your chosen pants pattern or sloper, make pattern corrections, and sew a second toile to further refine fit. The workshop is suitable for all sizes and genders. Ideally participants will come with a pre-prepared toile, however there will be time to sew one if you're in a time crunch! Instructions on preparing the toile will be distributed in advance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Leila Kelleher\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fashion scholar and designer whose work focuses on size-inclusive design, sustainable fashion, and the application of biomechanics in apparel development.
