Join us in West Perth, as we transform our workshop space into a sewing room. Our very own Emilie Otto, will teach you sewing basics and how to easily self-draft a top from your own measurements (value of two workshops in one!). Em is a self taught sewing wiz, that loves to inspire people to make their own clothes. This project is a fun, flowing design that will bring joy to your inner child.
This workshop includes sewing machine basics, creating a top pattern to suit your body, sewing and hemming. During the workshop, Em will share a few of her special tips & tricks to help you become a sewing pro in no time.
In this session she will be showing you how to sew your own top, which includes making your own pattern to use time and time again. Your top is customisable to your body, make it your own by choosing what length suits you best and BYO fabric for ultimate customisation. It's a versatile design that can be dressed up or down.
This beginners workshop is perfect for anyone who has always wanted to try sewing or learn sewing basics, skills learnt in this workshop can be used beyond the workshop to create your own pieces.
What this workshop includes:
- An introduction to sewing basics
- How to measure, mark and cut out the pattern of your top
- A Sewing machine to use on the day. We want to make sure we are experts in the machines you are using so that if any issues arise we can troubleshoot them ASAP. Additionally making sure we have enough spare parts so everyone can enjoy the session without worry.
- Free-flowing tea & coffee
- Morning tea to enjoy during the session
What you need to bring:
BYO fabric! We recommend a light cotton or linen (our personal preference) for this project & matching thread. Even better if you find the fabric at an op-shop, both designs pictured are using upcycled fabrics.
1.5m will be enough for this project, remember to prewash your fabric.
This workshop experience is unlike any other and is not to be missed!
