Please note you can buy your fabrics at our city centre store and are entitled to a 10% discount on all items bought for your workshop. Alternatively you may wish to purchase your fabrics elsewhere, which is also fine.
Week 3 & 4:
In week 3 & 4 you will make a classic A-line skirt with a side zip. This is a lovely staple wardrobe garment.
What you will need for this workshop:
- 2.5metres of fabric depending on the width of your fabric and the size you are wanting to make. You will also need matching thread for your fabric, 20cm/8inch zip and light to medium weight interfacing.
If you are unsure what size you are, we can help you measure yourself prior to the class and advise on the type of fabrics required, but please do come to the town centre shop on another day to allow for this.
You can bring along your own fabric or purchase fabric in the shop prior to your course. All workshop attendees will receive a 10% discount on all fabrics and notions bought and used in the workshop. Please also note that the workshop cost includes the cost of the pattern, which you can take home with you after the class.
To attend this workshop we would expect you to be able to do some basic sewing. If you are unable to sew but are interested in this sewing course, please sign up to a beginner sewing course first. If no dates are available, please do get in touch to discuss. Many thanks.
