This two session workshop is super fun, super easy and over the sessions you will learn how to shirr using shirring elastic, how to make straps, how to hem and sew pleated detail at the bustline.
This dress is so comfortable to wear and can be dressed up or down to suit your style.
We will break about half way through each session for refreshments, as sewing is thirsty work for mind and body therefore it’s only natural that there will be plenty of tea, coffee and cake to keep us going!
