Sew your own clothes

Tutor Anne Benson  

Sew your own clothes: this a series of workshops to give you confidence to sew your own wardrobe. The series consists of three 5-hour workshops. The number of places for this series is limited to six people. Each person will bring along their own pattern, fabric, and notions (such as zippers, buttons, interfacing etc).

Everyone will work on their own garment but whenever there is a learning opportunity in a particular pattern/garment we will look at it as a group. If your garment is straightforward, or if you choose to work on your garment between workshops, you could make more than one item.
