Dressmaking Workshops

287057 - Hobby to Professional with Corrie Robinson
This one day workshop is designed for the home sewer who would like to learn and extend their knowledge to create a more professional finish. You will be taken through different fabrics, such as chiffon, georgette, jersey, satin and denim and shown the different needles, seams and hems that combine to give a more polished edge to any piece. You will be given instruction in the use of interfacing, underlining and boning and taught the finer points of ease stitching, stay stitching and measuring the body form to reach a perfect fit. Corrie will also take you through how to adapt a pattern, whether by shortening or lengthening and how to merge patterns to create a unique look.
