Whether you are a complete beginner and would like to start dressmaking, or you would like some guidance to make a complete garment, this is for you. You will start off by learning all about the pattern. Then you will take accurate measurements of yourself and cut out your fabric accordingly. Lastly you will sew your garment so that you can wear it with pride.For beginners we recommend sewing a pattern such as the Tilly and the Buttons Jaimie pyjamas, Cleo dungaree dress, or Stevie dress/top. However, you are welcome to sew a different pattern and we ask that you discuss the pattern with us before the workshop.
You will learn how to:
Understand a dressmaking pattern envelope;
Accurately measure yourself and translate those measurements to the pattern;
Grade between sizes;
Trace your pattern so your pattern is preserved for future use;
Accurately cut out your fabric;
Transfer pattern markings to your fabric;
Sew up your garment using simple seams and edge finish them to prevent fraying;
Hem your garment.
Please note: some of the techniques may vary according to which garment you choose to make.
Skill Level:
Confident beginner – Suitable for anyone who knows how to use a sewing machine.
