A relaxed, beginner-friendly dressmaking day📅 Saturday 7th March
⏰ 10.00am – 4.00pm
📍 Patchwork Dreamer, Bodmin
👗 Tutor: Allison
👥 Maximum 6 places
Come and enjoy a lovely day of sewing and make your very own Popover Pinnyfore — a wonderfully versatile garment that’s as practical as it is stylish.
So called because it simply pops over your head, this clever design can be worn:
✨ open at the sides as a traditional pinny
✨ or closed at the sides as a classic pinafore
Perfect for layering and everyday wear.
This is a beginner-friendly workshop, ideal if you’re new to dressmaking or would like to build confidence working with woven fabrics. Allison will guide you gently through cutting your fabric and constructing your pinnyfore step by step, with plenty of individual help along the way.
🧷 What’s included:
Full-day tuition from Allison
The Popover Pinnyfore pattern (included for all attendees)
Pre-prepared pattern pieces ready to use on the day
A relaxed, friendly sewing-circle atmosphere in my upstairs studio
🪡 Fabric notes:
A stable woven fabric works best – cotton, poplin, chambray, lawn or lightweight denim are all ideal. (Viscose can be used with interfacing.) Full fabric requirements and sizing details are available on the booking page.
☕ Tea & coffee provided
🥪 Please bring a packed lunch
Places are strictly limited to 6 to keep the day calm and supportive, so booking early is recommended.
If you’ve been thinking “I’d love to try dressmaking, but I’m not sure I’m ready” — this is a perfect place to start 💛
