Class Description
This class is the ideal follow on from our Absolute Beginners class. During this class you will create from a choice of either a pair of pyjama bottoms/shorts or a gathered skirt. This dressmaking class is an ideal first sewing project for newbies or a great refresher for those long time sewists.
The class includes the pattern with beginner-friendly instructions and colour photos showing you each step – making it easy for you to create gorgeous clothes you can be proud to say you made yourself.
We will cover:
- Taking your measurements and comparing to the pattern sizes.
- Making any pattern alterations needed.
- Understanding your pattern pieces.
- Cutting your fabric.
- Optional In-seam pockets.
- Elasticated Waistbands.
- Optional Drawstring Ties.
and much more!!!!
Is this course right for me?
This class is designed for beginners or for those that need a refresher. This is class not suitable for those who haven’t already attended our absolute beginners sewing class or have some experience setting up a machine as we do not cover this as part of the class.
What do I need to bring?
You will need to bring along your choice of fabric that is included in the cost (prewashed) which you must have before the workshop so it can be prewashed.
You will also need thread to match your fabric, or this can be purchased in the shop on the day.
Don’t forget to bring yourself a bite to eat or there is a chippy and a sandwich shop down the road. We have a fridge, a microwave and of course a kettle.
Fabric requirements will be sent to you upon booking.

- Fabric; You can bring your own fabric if you choose.
- Please ensure you have your fabric beforehand so it can be prewashed.
