In this Intermediate* class, we will be making a classic chino trouser. It can be dressed up or down based on your tastes, but the overall silhouette is the ideal pattern to learn a basic fly construction, introductory pants fitting, and simple alterations. We will be using the Alina Sewing Chi-Town Chinos pants pattern– mid-rise, easy-fitting, and straight through the hip and leg. The waistband is faced, maintaining a clean finish.
