Dungaree Making Workshop 9.30am - 4pm

Choose from Sunday 26th of January or Sunday 2nd February 9.30am-4pm.

During this hands-on full day workshop, I will guide you through the entire process of creating your own unique dungarees, helping you to master new sewing techniques, gain valuable skills and leave with a fabulous pair of dungarees to show off!

Suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewers alike. (You must be able to thread a sewing machine & sew in a straight line & made a few things before). We will be using the Heyday dungarees pattern from Waves & Wild & if you don't already own the pattern, here's the link to the designer, to purchase it, alternatively I can purchase & print the pattern for you for an additional fee of £12.

The Heydays are a loose fitting dungaree pattern, which can be worn turned up at the ankle, there's no zips or buttons, so that you can concentrate on enjoying the sewing process while learning some new skills, such as topstitching, pattern matching your pockets & buttonholes, should you choose that option. Available in 12 sizes for adults or you can make some for the kiddos too.

Reserve your spot now and get ready to make a fashion statement with your very own handmade dungarees -perfect for layering up in the Autumn & Winter or to wear with a T-shirt in the warmer months.

SKILL LEVEL

Beginner/Intermediate

Suitable for adults who have never made a garment before but are confident using a sewing machine. As well as those who may have previous experience and wish to use the class to gain confidence or new inspiration.

If you need beginner classes please see my other classes which are available regularly or contact me for a 1 to 1.

*Please note - the studio is accessed via stairs & the toilets are downstairs. There is ample free off street parking outside the studio.

I try to calculate how long a workshop will be and plan to finish each garment in the allocated time but this isn’t always possible, If you are unable to finish in the workshop time I will make sure you are confident with your garment to be finished at home.
