Dressmaking Day

This one day sewing class is a great opportunity to come and complete your sewing projects, without any distractions! Catherine will be on hand for any help you may require. With expert guidance you can make or complete a garment that will be a perfect fit and have a professional finish.

Those that already have sewing experience can learn new skills and techniques to take their sewing to another level. During the sessions the tutor will demonstrate techniques either as a group or individually and share with you lots of hints and tips!

You can expect to complete a straightforward garment, although this will depend on the speed that you work and the difficulty of the pattern chosen, in approx. 2 to 3 sessions.

Equipment Required

Sewing machine
You will be provided with a Husqvarna Viking sewing machine to use during the class. Please note we cannot guarantee specific models. There will also be overlockers and cutting out space available for your use.

Basic sewing equipment, to include:
- Cutting out Scissors
- Small paper scissors
- Pattern paper
- Pins
- Tape measure
- Fabric marker
- Threads

Fabric
If you already have a project in mind and have the fabric (and if required, a pattern) then bring these with you; the tutor can give you guidance with these if required. Dressmaking and patchwork fabrics, along with all your other sewing requirements, are available to purchase in the shop.

Pattern
We stock Simplicity, Tilly and the Buttons, The Avid Seamstress, Sewgirl and Quality Textiles patterns. You can view our pattern selection online here or if you prefer to browse in store then our staff are happy to give advice. You may want to do this a few days prior to the course or come in a little earlier on the day to ensure you have enough time to choose.
