Our name refers to the way we feel the fashion industry affects its workers, its shoppers and the planet. Stitched Up. Fast fashion compels us to buy more and more clothes, which engulf our wardrobes and stifle opportunities for creative expression.
Meanwhile many workers in the global fashion industry are trapped in low-wage jobs, prevented from joining trade unions to demand better working conditions.
This workshop will teach you a range of basic sewing skills that are needed to complete and finish a range of projects including; dressmaking, soft furnishings, alterations etc. The skills learnt will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to enable you to take on.
If you have never used a sewing machine before, or perhaps it was so long ago that you have forgotten what to do, this workshop starts at the beginning and will take the frustration out of setting up and using a sewing machine.
This workshop is suitable for those who have used a sewing machine before, can confidently thread the machine and bobbin and have sewn several projects before. If you need a beginners class or a refresher then have a look at beginners classes available.
Learn to use dressmaking patterns and make your own garments with us on a Full Day workshop in the Crafty Studio!
The class will work on a project which is set by the tutor. It covers pattern alteration, fabric choice, and fitting, pinning and cutting out. You’ll be shown how to use sewing machines and how to make and finish garments.
