There's still space on this one-day course next week - in fact if nobody else books onto it it will be cancelled, and typically, if I've had to cancel a workshop I won't try to run the same one again - so this is your last chance for knickers folks!

Want to improve your skills with sewing jersey? This workshop is a great skill builder if you already have some experience with it (for example you've done my introduction workshop or you already had a go at sewing with it yourself.) Fairly experienced sewists that have never used jersey before are....

Fancy learning to make your own knickers with stretch fabric? I've got a one-day workshop coming up in a few weeks time where I'll teach you just that!
We'll use a simple sewing pattern and if you'd like to you can also (learn to) use the overlocker to sew your seams.

The course is suitable for people with some sewing experience only, if you're a complete beginner and you want to learn how to sew with knit fabrics you can get in touch to be put on my waiting list for a beginner overlocker/knit workshop day.

Follow the link below to book or for more information, alternatively you can pop into the Ulverston shop (through the ginnel next to Greggs on Market Street) or e-mail [email protected].

I’m back in the shop with a working leg 🥳
And a brand new outfit consisting of my new Miffy t-shirt made with a panel print cotton jersey from the shop and the Easy T-Shirt pattern that I’ll be using in my upcoming class on how to sew with knit fabrics (We’d 26th August with 2 spaces still free!)
Plus my emergency skirt that I just whipped up in half an hour using fabric from our brilliant 2nd hand fabric selection. I was under duress because my trouser elastic went (never use old elastic folks!) just as I got in this morning 😱 I’m really pleased with the result though!
