Well hello, it’s been a while hasn’t it?!

MAKE A PAIR OF DERWENT WIDE LEG TROUSERS FROM “BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO SEWING WITH KNITTED FABRICS”

This class is ideal for beginners. Don’t be scared of sewing knitted fabrics, we’ll be using a regular sewing machine and Wendy will guide you through setting up the machine to sew stretch fabrics.
The Derwent Trousers have a comfortable deep elasticated waist and you can make the trousers to any length you want – full length, cropped or culottes. You’ll learn how to seam and hem knits and how to sew a faced elasticated waist. You just need to bring fabric and thread, we’ll provide everything else.

MAKE A KINDER CARDIGAN FROM “BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO SEWING WITH KNITTED FABRICS”
SUNDAY 20th October 10am – 4pm
This class is ideal for beginners and don’t be scared of sewing knitted fabrics, we’ll be using a regular sewing machine and Wendy will guide you through setting up the machine to sew stretch fabrics – it’s a lot easier than you think.
The Kinder Cardigan is a simple open cardigan without any fastenings. It is easy to wear and easy and quick to sew. It will quickly earn its place in your wardrobe as one of your go-to pieces.
You can make the cardigan in three lengths; short, which just skims the hip bone and looks great with fitted skirts and wide leg trousers; mid-length, which comes to just below hip (and yes, covers your bum); or full length, which is just below knee length and looks great with more fitted styles such as skinny jeans or leggings. There is also a choice of short or long sleeves, both finished with a cuff, and for the two longer versions you can add roomy patch pockets.
NOTE: the patterns are in 10 sizes which cover the following body measurement range: bust 80-121cm (31 1/2 to 47 3/4 ins), waist 64-105cm (25 to 41 1/2 ins), hips 88-129cm (34 1/2 to 51 ins).

- Suitable for beginners and more experienced dressmakers.
