Hope Woven Dress: Tuesday April 8th, 10 – 4pm

 New for Betty’s is this ‘Hope’ dress from Style Arc. The sample Hannah has made is in the shop and is absolutely sublime.
This would suit a beginner sewer who has basic sewing knowledge (or done our ‘this is a machine’ course).

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 is included.

Please be willing to try our samples in advance so we know your size and can prep for the course.
