WORKSHOPS
At Love Dressmaking we offer a range of workshops throughout the year in Newport and Shrewsbury.
One-day workshops are planned so that everyone makes up the same design / pattern in their own choice of fabric.
Half-day workshops give learners the chance to learn specific dressmaking techniques.
‘Sewing on Saturday’ workshops are general dressmaking or sewing sessions that run monthly in Newport.
Refreshments are included in all workshops. You will need to bring your own lunch to full day workshops.
Skill Levels
1.BEGINNERS: You can use a sewing machine and have experimented with making simple items
2.BEGINNERS Plus: You have made a simple garment or two but are ready to experience new techniques such as setting in a sleeve or creating pleats
3.INTERMEDIATE: You have made several garments and are ready to handle more challenging fabrics and style details such as collars, cuffs & concealed zips
* NOTE: These skill levels are a guide only - if you have any questions about which course will be relevant to you, please contact Catherine
Please note that there may be occasional changes of venue during courses or for workshops, should the planned location become unavailable. The classes will still be run in the same way with the same high quality tuition. You will be given as much notice as possible if this is the case.
