Spend a full (busy!) day – but in TWO PARTS – making a pair of pyjama bottoms, either for yourself or another adult.
This is for complete beginners – people who have never made a garment before. However, you will need to understand seam allowances, to be able to cut and sew straight, to have some experience of seams, hems and neatening edges.
SESSION ONE: This will last approximately 2 hours. I will explain the technical aspects of making garments and help you understand the commercial pattern envelope and contents. I will explain how to cut out the pattern and how to use it to cut out your fabric but you’ll then be expected to do this at home! I will make sure you know what to do before you leave!
SESSION TWO: This will last approximately 4 hours. You’ll assemble/make up your ready-prepared (i.e. cut out) pyjama bottoms, including adding casing around the top.
TIMES: one 2 (ish) hour session, one 4 (ish) hour session, usually starting at 10am.
Tea/coffee and biscuits provided, but you’ll need to bring your own lunch.
COST: €50
SEWING MACHINES: Either bring your own or use one of mine.
MATERIALS: If you decide to book, I’ll explain fully what materials – and which dressmaking pattern – you need to bring.
