Make a Dress – Dressmaking Class. The sample dress is ready!
Make a Dress – Dressmaking Class. The sample dress is ready!
00Tracey has been busy refining the pattern and instructions and making up a sample for our dressmaking class next week. The dress is a classic design that will suit many figure shapes. It has a crossover infront of the bust and pleats to allow you to shape it depending on how full you want it. Darts in the back help the shaping and the skirt length can be adjusted to above and below the knee. Sleeves can be short or three quarter length so it really is a flexible pattern that you can make your own. We have made the sample up in a plain polycotton but it will look lovely in all sorts of fabrics. We still have a couple of places left on the class on Saturday 24 November and we are running the class again on Saturday 2 February 2013. To book your place click...
