Already have a simple pattern you think would be suitable for this? No problem, you are also welcome to send this to me so I can check the suitability - as long as you have something to work with, I don't mind!
Before the course
You will need to purchase your course pattern, fabric and trims, and cut the garment ready for the day. As always I'm on hand for any additional support so if the thought of doing this on your own is putting you off do let me know and we can arrange an alternative option.​
​
On the day
In the morning, you will learn how to thread the overlocker and adjust settings for different seam types.
In the afternoon you will practice using the overlocker to construct a simple garment, learning skills that range from sewing seams to hemming in the round.
Spaces are limited to 6 participants per class to provide the ultimate learning experience​
