Fancy making your own PJ's? Learn to follow a commercial sewing pattern and create a lovely pair of pyjamas to take home.

“My soul is fed with needle and thread”

Is this workshop for me?

This workshop is ideal if you're already comfortable using a sewing machine and have some basic sewing experience. You'll need to be confident threading your machine, sewing straight seams and handling fabric. We'll guide you through using a commercial sewing pattern, cutting out your fabric and sewing your own pair of pyjamas. No previous experience of using a commercial pattern is necessary.

Details

During the 5-hour day (half an hour is allowed for lunch and a bit of time either end of the day for set up and clear up) Steph will explain what the info on a paper pattern means and how to interpret it. Steph will teach you how to lay your paper pattern onto the fabric, cut your item out and then guide you through every stage till you complete your finished sewn garment.
