Morning – ‘Make a Skirt’ (10am-12pm) / Afternoon – ‘Make Leggings’ (12.30–4.30 pm) Book the morning, afternoon, or both. 

 Do you want to start making your own clothes? Want to make something wearable and comfortable?  In the morning session you will work through the steps to make a simple reversible skirt, in whichever length you desire (adult or child size). A fabulous skirt for a long day out with your little ones or for packing for your holidays, and it is reversible so you can have two different looks in one skirt! 

The afternoon ‘make leggings’ session (4 hours) is suitable for all levels of sewers. It is brilliant for novices, as a starting point, but also for intermediates to learn how to use stretch fabric. You will make handmade quality leggings you can wear over and over again. Plus, you can make it over and over again! 

 Bring your own: sewing machine (with a bobbin and ‘triple stitch’ function on your machine), fabric scissors, paper scissors (cheap pair, paper blunts scissors), unpicker (usually comes as standard with your machine), measuring tape, tailors’ chalk, pins.  Fabrics & notions to bring:  AM – skirt:

- Measure the desired length of your skirt, add 4 inches to the length - then buy two contrast cottons in this length. i.e. skirt to measure 20” long, buy 24” of cotton fabric x 2 different pattern(s) or colour.

- Guttermans matching thread colour.

- ¾ m of 1” wide elastic.

PM - leggings:

- 1 metre of Lycra (swimwear or sportswear) - fabric must have a full 4-way stretch,

- Guttermanns thread to match,

- ¾ m of 1” wide elastic.
