✨ Beginner Dressmaking-Kimono ✨

Ready to take your sewing skills to the next level?

Join us for a relaxed and practical 1 day Beginner Dressmaking Kimono workshop — perfect for those who already know the basics of using a sewing machine and are ready to move beyond simple projects. 

You will receive a brand-new commercial sewing pattern costing £11, to use in the workshop and to take home, allowing you to create additional garments at your own pace and continue building your dressmaking skills beyond the course. As part of your booking, you will also be provided with 5 hours of dedicated tuition, offering step-by-step guidance and support throughout the dressmaking process to help you achieve a beautifully finished piece. Please note that you will need to purchase your own fabric for the project; full details of the required fabric types and quantities will be provided upon booking so you can prepare in advance.

📍 Taking place at Lark
📅 Sunday 5th July
⏰ 10-3:30pm (30 minute lunch break included)

This workshop is ideal for confident beginners who can already thread up their machine and sew a straight line (please note: machine basics will not be covered in this session).

During the workshop, you’ll learn:

🧵 How to read and understand a commercial sewing pattern
📐 Lay planning and cutting your fabric correctly
✂️ Understanding pattern construction
🪡 Sewing and finishing seams neatly
📏 Creating hems and applying bias binding.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more confident tackling dressmaking projects at home and understanding how garments come together.

Bring a packed lunch for a well earned rest. Tea, coffee & biscuits will be provided.
