I’m hoping to offer a small range of patterns, from which you can choose to make two. Children’s clothing uses smaller amounts of fabric, often leaving a remaining piece. I hope to show you how to be economical and learn to use up remnants and even upcycle from existing clothing.
Skills you will learn:
Firstly a bit about me, Jan Grafton. I moved to Timsbury, from South Oxfordshire in 2015 and have enjoyed settling into Hampshire life. In 2014 I decided to take early retirement.
I have taught textiles and food technology for more than 35 years in state Secondary Schools but felt I needed to explore other directions to allow me time to spend more time with my family and nurture my own creativity.
