Learn the basics of making your own clothes, and create something new and unique for your wardrobe!
Be Yourself. Choose your own fabric; fit it to your own unique body; express your own unique style. If you've had enough of ill-fitting, low quality, hi-street clothing, then this weekend workshop is your opportunity to break from the herd.
The Marigold Trousers by Tilly & The Buttons
Learn sewing machine basics; stitches & seams; fabric terms; using a sewing pattern; basic seams & seam finishes; making an elasticated waistband; slash pockets; darts & pleats. Boost your wardrobe with your own self made pair of Marigold Trousers. This is a simple wardrobe staple that can be made again and again in different fabrics. (note: the jumpsuit version will not be covered on this Beginner's course, but it is something you could go on to try at a later date).
This course is open to complete beginners and sewing machines are available for every student, although you may bring your own if you wish.
