Welcome to our small and friendly workshops which take place at our studio in Newport, Isle of Wight, UK. These individual workshops are aimed at all levels of sewer, from our Starting to Sew sessions for complete beginners to pattern drafting and draping for more advanced makers. Workshops and classes are taught by myself, Sue, I am a professional pattern cutter with over thirty years of fashion industry experience, working for major brands and designers.
✂️ Draping Masterclass £50
Join me for a unique, hands-on workshop where creativity meets craftsmanship. I'll demonstrate the art of modelling fabric directly onto the stand - pinning, chopping, draping, and marking as we go. You’ll discover how to shape garments and design distinctive details, then learn how to turn these sculpted forms into useable patterns. There’ll be time to explore, experiment, and make the technique your own.
Thursday 28th August 10.30 - 1.30
