Make a Merchant & Mills “Factory” Dress

Spend a day making the Merchant & Mills “Factory” Dress in their teal linen.  The dress is “inspired by working women, with a dash of the twenties”.  It slips over the head, and features pockets and ready rolled up sleeves. By the end of the day you should have a finished dress in the size of your choice, a pattern to take away and re-use if you like, and new or refreshed dress-making skills.

This workshop is suitable for everyone, as long as you have some basic sewing machine experience.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials (including teal fabric, thread and pattern) are included in the workshop fee, just please bring along your own sewing machine.

Get to Know Your Overlocker

Do you have an overlocker sitting in a cupboard somewhere making you feel guilty because you never use it? Let us help you! In this workshop you will learn how to operate your overlocker – threading it up, using the various stitches available, and troubleshooting any problems.

During the afternoon you will make a simple t-shirt from jersey fabric using your newfound overlocker skills.  You can bring your own t-shirt fabric, or the tutor can provide plain white t-shirt fabric if required. By the end of the workshop you will feel much more confident about using your machine.

This workshop is suitable for people of all skill levels.

A light lunch, refreshments and a T shirt pattern are included in the workshop fee. Please bring along your own overlocker machine, and either bring along your own T shirt fabric and matching thread, or order it through us for an additional cost.
