The Hoodie Dress (Assembly Line): Saturday April 26th, 10 – 4pm

Introducing the Hoodie Dress workshop! This slip-on dress is not only stylish but also comfortable, featuring large front pockets and a cozy, fully lined hood – an improvement we’ve made to the original pattern. You can also choose to make it sleeveless or without the elasticated hem for a more relaxed look. It’s quickly become a favourite here at Betty’s! Ideal for confident sewers, this project works beautifully in fabrics like linen, denim, or gabardine. Need extra time? You’ll have the option to finish up the next morning.

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 intermediate, and 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.
