About This Event

Franklins in Ipswich is set to host a one-day dressmaking workshop on Friday 28 August 2026, dedicated to the creation of a custom-fit dress block. Beginning at 10am, the session will guide participants through the processes of measuring, drafting, and constructing a basic block, using the *Dressmaking: The Easy Guide* book as a reference. This foundational block can then be adapted into a variety of dress styles, offering considerable versatility. The workshop is designed for individuals with some existing sewing experience who wish to refine their fit and pattern-making abilities. All necessary materials and expert guidance are provided by a tutor on the day. Ticket prices range from £135 to £150, ensuring a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience for those looking to elevate their dressmaking skills.
