We're a little excited about this workshop: A chance to upgrade your garment construction skills, learn directly from the pattern designer, and make something wonderful for your wardrobe!
About This Course
To be honest, we're a little excited about this workshop, which will be formed around our first garment design to be released under the Storybook Patterns label.
Designed and developed in-house by Cassandra Macindoe and friends, The Overture Set is a light and flowing garment that can be made as either a dress or shirt. Based on a trapeze silouhette, it features eye-catching elements such as a wide centre-back pleat; a dropped hem; a classic shirt collar & collar stand; a rouleau loop closure; French seams; Hong Kong seam finishes; and in-seam pockets in the dress.
This 2-day weekend workshop is a chance for your to upgrade your garment construction skills; learning key techniques for The Overture directly from the Designer. Choose your own fabric, make it for your own unique body, and create a wonderful new peice for your wardrobe.
As well as demonstrating techniques, Cassandra will also be retelling the story of her design process for The Overture and dropping a few tips for sustainable garment construction. The Overture Set will be officially released in the August edition of Simply Sewing magazine (Issue 20).
