Re-Create A Favourite

Do you have a garment in your wardrobe that feels like an old friend?
You have worn it and worn it, you know it suits you and every time you put it on, it just feels so good........ BUT, you know it is going to wear out eventually (if it hasn't already!) and you will be lost without it.
We can help you recreate the shape so that you can make your own versions of this garment and carry on wearing them for years to come.

Please note you will not make a finished garment in this class you will go away with a pattern for your chosen garment to be made again.

How to mark, take from and read your garment. We may need to take this garment apart depending on the design, this will be discussed befroe the class. 

How to construct your garment and in what order. 

What you will need to bring

Sewing machine - please advise if you need to borrow one of ours as we have limited avaiability in the workshop. We may or may not use your machines depending on the day. 

Your chosen simple constructed garment – this will need to be relatively simple so you can re-create in the class. Either a simple top, simple dress or simple skirt. Please discuss this with us once booked.
