About This Course
If you're unable to commit to a 10-week course, or would prefer to dip you toes before diving into the world of making clothes, then this two day weekend workshop could be the perfect fit for you.
Learn sewing machine basics, stitches & seams, fabric terms, simple hems and basic seam finishes. Make your very own short-sleeved shirt in a fabric of your choice and fit it to your own unique body. The shirt pattern we'll be using has been developed by Cassandra and will soon form part of a collection for Storybook Patterns; her indie pattern company due to launch later this year.
This workshop is open to complete beginners and our studio comes fully equipped with enough sewing machines for each student. But if you would like to bring your own machine, that's also fine.
