Betty’s Shell Top: Thursday February 13th, 10 – 1pm

This is Betty’s own shell top – a lovely versatile top that is perfect for spring/ summer or layering. Wonderful made up in our cotton lawn, easy to wear and a cinch to make.

What you will learn:

• An intro to commercial patterns
• Measuring and choosing the right size for you
• Assembling a pattern
• Pattern marking
• Cutting out the fabric according to the pattern
• Seam techniques
• Attaching a facing

What you will need:

• Fabric: we encourage attendees to buy fabric from Betty’s as we have sourced material to suit our patterns, it is always reasonably priced and we offer a 15% discount.

Level: Dressmaking beginners, but must already know how to use a sewing machine

The pattern isn’t included but can be purchased in the shop.

Snacks and a light lunch are included.

Please be willing to visit the shop in advance to try on our samples in order to get the correct size and choose fabric.

You are welcome to bring your own fabric; however, we know our own fabric at Betty’s will work with our patterns. We can’t be held responsible if the fabric attendees bring is not suitable (e.g., synthetics, non-woven). Feel free to contact us to discuss.
