If you’d class yourself as comfortable on a sewing machine but keen to get to grips with the world of dressmaking, then this is a great place to start. This workshop is an introduction to dressmaking, using the Tilly and the Buttons Lotta Dress Pattern – an easy wear, easy fit, firm favourite at The Sewing Cafe dress.
A simple blousy top (with no zips or fastenings) with either a short sleeve or a bracelet length sleeve, nipped in at the waist with a comfortable narrow elasticated waistband. A flared skirt glides over the hips, you can pick your perfect length and add pockets, if you wish.
If you’ve already dabbled in the world of dressmaking, and really like the look of this dress, then you’re also welcome to join us for a lovely day of sewing, hints and tips, chatting and cake!
