Ready to take your sewing to the next level? This practical, technique-packed workshop is designed to help you build a toolkit of professional dressmaking skills that will elevate your makes, whether you’re sewing garments, homeware, or accessories.

Led by expert tutor Maria, you’ll learn how to sew a variety of seam finishes including basic, curved, piped and overlocked seams. You’ll also gain confidence in essential construction techniques such as darts, facings, tailor tacks, zips, bias binding and buttonholes. Maria will guide you through more advanced skills like understitching and setting in sleeves, and most importantly, explain when and why to use each method for the best finish.

This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to refine their sewing and pick up transferable techniques that can be used across a wide range of projects – not just dressmaking!
