Sauvie Sundress: Tuesday June 3rd, 10 – 4pm

Join us for the Sauvie Sundress workshop, where you’ll create a versatile strappy summer dress that’s as comfortable as it is stylish. Whether you’re after a casual look for warm days or a simple evening dress, this pattern works beautifully with a range of fabrics. It can even be layered over a t-shirt as a cute pinafore for cooler weather. With the help of Betty’s pro dressmakers, you’ll choose from our selection of cottons or linens to make a piece you’ll wear again and again.

What you will learn:

• An intro to commercial patterns
• Measuring and choosing the right size for you
• Assembling a pattern
• Pattern marking
• 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 confidant beginner, 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.
