This is a fun activity in Buckingham, Milton Keynes
Learn how to sew and design your clothing at this introduction to dressmaking workshop in Buckinghamshire. This hands-on workshop is designed for those new to dressmaking or are looking for a refresher on this fun and practical hobby.
Your passionate teacher Jane will take you through cutting out your dressmaking patterns and laying them out on the fabric correctly. Learn how to avoid common mistakes and how to decipher instructions. Together you will then construct the garment.
The Nimble Thimble stocks a wide range of 100% cotton fabric – perfect for a new spring/summer dress or you can purchase fabric from elsewhere (please no stretch or jersey fabrics). When choosing your pattern, look for one marked “Beginner” or “Easy”. Alternatively, we can provide you with a suggested list of patterns.
By the end of the workshop, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to design and sew your clothing. Take home a newly created garment or work in progress that's uniquely yours, showcasing your newfound dressmaking skills.
