About this event

    An opportunity to work on a project with Barley Massey's support and studio facilities. Be it a new type of garment or accessory you'd like help with tackling or half finished item(s) or perhaps a challenging alteration / restyle / cloning of a wardrobe favourite?

    This is also a suitable class for those of you that have some sewing experience but perhaps this is your first time using a pattern and you would like Barley to guide you through.

    All levels of sewer are welcome but you do need to know your way around a sewing machine.

    During the day, Barley will also share advice and tips on certain techniques that your project might call for, help you get a good fit and suggest ways of achieving a professional finish to your make.

    Please Bring: Your Project! Ideally cut out your pattern pieces in advance of the class, but if you are new to working with patterns, you are welcome to cut out with Barley's assistance. We also sell some patterns at Fabrications. On booking, Barley will contact you in advance of the class to find out more about your planned project.

    Please Note: The workshop will take place in the Fabrications studio (which is downstairs from the shop via 12 steps)

    FABRICATIONS

    Established in June 2000 on Broadway Market, East London by textile designer maker, Barley Massey, Fabrications has grown into a buzzing hub of creativity focusing on social textiles, upcycling and eco design through our shop, studio and classes. 23 years on our aim is still to inspire a joy of making whilst encouraging thoughtful and resourceful ways of living in a welcoming and creative environment.

    In our bricks & mortar or online shop, discover one off upcycled creations to wear, give as gifts or dress your home with! Items are created by Barley all year round, changing with the seasons, and due to the recycled nature and the spontaneous way she works with 'waste' materials and pre loved clothing, each piece is unique and unrepeatable.

    Fabrications is also a great source of crafting supplies to fuel your next project, whether it’s knitting, crochet, weaving, macramé, embroidery, sewing, dressmaking or another creative endeavor. We are dedicated to offering good quality supplies at a fair price from local, sustainable & ethical sources. Fabrications is also an authorised local dealer of domestic Brother sewing machines, overlockers and accessories.

    In the studio, we offer a commissioning service, including Barley's sensitive 'Remember Me' service, which enables you to bring along old garments and textiles holding sentimental value to be transformed into comforting home furnishings, new garments or gifts for loved ones.

    The Studio or "Imaginerium" is also open as a creative classroom, offering a regular programme of classes, events and our popular fortnightly Community "Craft Club". We are looking forward to meeting and getting creative with you!
