We invite you to sew your dream blouse or dress in the gorgeous g&g sewing studio!
Join us for an exciting one-day workshop where you'll create a stunning, on trend blouse or dress using the Tilly and the Buttons Nell pattern – a timeless wardrobe staple!
Elevate your handmade wardrobe with this gorgeous blouse or dress that you can customise to your own unique style and skill level.
The Tilly And The Buttons Nell Blouse & Dress is a timeless, easy-to-wear blouse and dress that will be on regular rotation in your wardrobe. This mix ‘n’ match pattern includes four blouse and dress options and four sleeve styles to choose from, plus optional patch pockets and choice of button-front style or on-trend tie opening. The only question is which version will you choose?
Once you've stitched up your me-made Nell, this pattern will be on repeat for sure!
Please note - The style elements you choose will be dependent on your skill level - please see skill level info below. In this workshop, we suggest sewing the short sleeved blouse without patch pockets due to time constraints. If you do decide to make the dress version you may have more to finish off at home. You can always also add patch pockets later at home for that extra flair!
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to sew your own stylish blouse. Reserve your spot today and get ready to rock your handmade wardrobe! 🌟
You will learn:
This will depend on the pattern option you choose to make but may include:
How to sew a V neckline finished with a facing
How to sew bust darts
How to sew buttonholes
How to sew faux bow ties
How to sew a peplum
How to sew flutter sleeves
How to sew lined puffball sleeves
Please note: As this class is just one day, depending on your past level of experience you many have to finish some elements off at home.
Optional patch pockets could be added on after the workshop if necessary.
Skill level:
The most straight forward option would be:
Straight blouse (no peplum)
Faux bow ties closure
With more experience you could choose:
Flutter or lined puffball sleeves
Buttonhole closure
A more drapey fabric such as viscose (rayon)
It is strongly recommended to pre wash your fabric prior to cutting out to allow for any shrinkage.
