Description:
If you’ve completed the Beginners Sewing workshop and/or have basic sewing experience then this is a great follow-on workshop focusing on dress-making.
As in the Beginners you will work with a sample folder building up samples for future reference.
We will look at inserting side pockets from a pattern piece and in a pre-made item, blind zips, facings, button holes, working with lining, bias finishes and waist band finishes.
You will then make a basic item of clothing from a basic pattern piece adapting the pattern piece to your measurements. You will then mark out, cut and assemble your piece.
The reference folder is yours to take home along with your samples for easy reference so you can keep creating.

All materials, equipment, and sewing machines are provided.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day and a light lunch will be provided.
