• how to choose your pattern size.

• advice on choosing cloth

• how to trace and make simple fit adjustments.

• how to sew darts

• How to construct pockets

• how to use ribbing 

• how to use my overlocker 

The sewing weekend

​

On the first day, I will help you choose a size and you will make the most of our cutting table to trace your pattern and cut your fabric. We can also look at any possible adjustments.

My most prolific makers might choose to cut two garments and why not? 

​

On our second day, you can fully yourselves in making your garment. You will learn how to finish your garment with french seams. I will give you an introduction to using an overlocker if you are tempted to try. 

​

This is a relaxed pace workshop with plenty f time for personal fitting and support.

​

All the while there is tea flowing and we take the time to share a delicious lunch.
