Intermediate Sewing Workshop

Pink Rooster Charity

Join us at Pink Rooster's beautiful peaceful gatehouse for our intermediate sewing workshop

186 Billing Rd

<h3>This workshop is designed to follow on from the beginners sewing workshop, or an ideal stand-alone session for those who can already use a machine at a basic level and wish to polish up their skills and technical know-how. </h3><p>Please make sure that you can, at the very least, wind a bobbin, thread a machine and sew in a straight line unaided. If not, sign up to the beginners class first! </p><p>Materials and equipment are provided but please bring your preferred method of taking notes and also any of your own kit you may have. </p><h3>We will cover:</h3><ul><li><strong>Hems</strong>- we’ll be making practice hems and showing you the professional way to measure,cut and turn a hem. We’ll look at different fabrics like denim, work clothing and special occasion fabrics and the appropriate stitches to use. If you&#x27;d like further advice on hems please bring in your own garments and we&#x27;ll be able to advise. </li><li><strong>De-mystifying sewing patterns</strong>- what does all that jargon mean? We’ll show you how to measure and choose which lines to cut. And then how to adapt and lay your pattern to not waste fabric. How to cut properly and how to interpret pattern notches. We have tips and tricks to make your patterns go together nicely and make your sewing experience hassle free. </li><li><strong>Basic clothes alterations</strong>- This could be a very comprehensive list! However, we’ll cover just the basics. Taking dresses, skirts or trousers in or out at the waist or hips. Using darts. Again, It could be useful to bring some of your own garments to work on which we could use to demonstrate techniques to the class. </li></ul><p><strong>Sewing machines and equipment are supplied. Please feel free to work on your own machine if you would prefer but please make sure that it is in good working order and don&#x27;t forget the pedal!</strong></p><p>Abi is a qualified tutor and freelance costume maker with well over 30 years sewing experience. You will receive lots of guidance, support and reassurance on the day. You are in good hands and will be given lots of handy hints and tips. </p><h3>Please arrive by 10:15am ready to start at 10:30am</h3><h3>R﻿efreshments</h3><p>L﻿ight refreshments ( tea, coffee, soft drinks) will be available during the day but please bring your own packed lunch or any special dietary needs.</p><h3>H﻿ow to find us</h3><p>P﻿ink Rooster is located at 186 Billing Road Northampton NN1 5RU at the Wantage Gate entrance to St Andrew&#x27;s Healthcare.
