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.
