Sewing - Garment Making

Back by popular demand - Rebecca the Sewist with a Bring Your Own Garment Weekend. 

Suitable for beginners and more experienced garment makers, as long as you have a basic understanding of how to use your sewing machine. In this class you will be guided through how to use a sewing pattern, measure your own body to ensure you choose the correct size. Make adjustments to your pattern if required.

You will make a garment of your choice. Rebecca recommends challenging yourself with something that will give you experience of new skills that you have not tried before. Guidance is available from Rebecca before the course to help pick a suitable pattern and fabric.

All sewing tools will be provided though you are welcome to bring your own kit too.

Sewing Machine 

You will be required to bring your own sewing machine (which can be left securely overnight within the sewing room) this allows you to learn and become familiar with your own machine. There are a limited amount of extra machines available if you do not have your own machine please enquire upon booking. 

There will be two overlockers available, one threaded in black and the other in white. If you are a beginner I will guide you through how to use an overlocker. You are also welcome to bring your own overlocker if you wish and I can help guide you through your machine - or check out our Make Friends with your Overlocker one day class on 5 July.
