Intermediate - Make a pair of PJ's using a commercial pattern!

“My soul is fed with needle and thread”

Who is this day for?

This day is for those who are becoming confident using their sewing machine but want to learn to sew something using a commercial paper pattern. You may have previously attended one of my beginners sewing machine classes, in which case this class is the perfect next step.

Details

During the 5-hour day (half an hour is allowed for lunch and a bit of time either end of the day for set up and clear up) Steph will explain what the info on a paper pattern means and how to interpret it. Steph will teach you how to lay your paper pattern onto the fabric, cut your item out and then guide you through every stage till you complete your finished sewn garment.

What is provided?

Steph provides the pattern with size options of size of Xs, medium, Large and xxL. If you are a size that it outside of these please contact me before booking this class.

Tea and coffee

Please bring to class:

• Fabrics. For the P J bottoms please bring 3 meters of medium weight cotton fabric. Make sure it's not stretch fabric. You will have some fabric left but you can use this to make something to co-ordinate when you get home.

• Sewing machine (please ensure it works).

• Pen and pencil.

• Notebook.

• Hand sewing needles and some pins.

• Thread to match the fabric you have chosen.

• Sharp scissors, preferably a small pair and a large pair, for cutting out fabric.

Refreshments

Tea and coffee is provided. There's nowhere nearby to get lunch so please bring a packed lunch with you.

Parking

There is ample free parking at Westbury.
