Places available: 4





This specialist workshop focuses on creating a range of samples of dressmaking techniques. These sample pieces along with the instructions sheets that you will receive will serve you as a practical reference for future use.
You will receive expert guidance and supervision from a tutor who many years experience of teaching various aspects of creative textiles, dressmaking and tailoring as well as creating custom clothing and carrying out wedding dress alterations.
The learning activities will be broken down into parts with each being dedicated to one aspect of dressmaking skills. A range of options for each will be shown and discussed. You will then be able to choose within each section the techniques that you would like to concentrate on. This will allow flexibility to discover and try unfamiliar techniques or improve upon existing ones. It also enables individuals to work at a pace best suited to themselves.

The day will be broken down as follows:-
- Preparing to sew - what to consider
- A range of seam construction methods
- Ways to stabilize
- Reducing bulk
- Choose one or more zip insertion methods and or buttonhole construction

This workshop is restricted to six people to keep a small and friendly group, and give you all plenty of time with me on the day.

The full workshop fee of £44 is required to secure your place. If the workshop is cancelled by me, all monies paid to me will be refunded. No further liability can be accepted. The participant is responsible for their own travel, accommodation (if required), food and insurance costs.
