Sewing Workshops at Countess Wear Village
Hall, Exeter
Here
are some new sewing workshops for Spring 2010
Fabric
Box Making, Sunday 28th February 2010, 10am - 4pm at
Countess Wear Village Hall.
If you have some scraps of beautiful fabric that
are too small to use for a sewing project but too pretty
to throw away then this may be the workshop for you. You
will need to bring a sewing machine that does a zig zag
and possibly has a drop feed facility and a darning foot
that will fit the machine. We will be using pelmet
viliene as the basis for the box and you will need to
bring two half metre pieces of contrasting fabrics, one
for the outside of the box and one for the inside. The
finished box would make a lovely gift for Mother's Day or
for Easter. Tuition cost £27, 12 places.
Speed
Tailoring, Sunday 11th April 2010, 10am - 4pm at Countess
Wear Village Hall.
A day to get familiar with some of the woven interfacings
that are used in ready to wear jackets to achieve a soft
but tailored look when it comes to making your own
jackets. You will need to bring along your jacket
pattern, fabric, sewing machine, sewing kit, a pressing
cloth and your steam iron and if you can, your ironing
board too as this will cut down on the queues for the
ones that I have available! You may want to bring a
notebook to take some notes but there will be some
information about the different types of interfacings
that we are going to use. An interfacing pack will be
available to buy on the day, cost £15. Tuition cost
£27, 12 places.
Piped Boned
Bodice, Sunday 25th April 2010, 10am - 4pm at Countess
Wear Village Hall.
If you have made a bodice before and want to take your
skills a bit further then this one day workshop could be
just the thing. If you have tried piping before and found
it difficult, come and find out how easy it can be. A
bodice will fit and flatter most figures and piping will
define the seamlines and give a lovely contrast to your
chosen bodice fabric. You will need your sewing machine
with a piping/zip foot, sewing kit, pattern, fabric and
lining and a contrast fabric to pipe with. Bodice canvas,
fine piping cord and boning can be purchased on the day.
Tuition cost £27, 12 places.
