A line skirt class

I am delighted to be taking another A line skirt class at lady sew and sew in Henley on Thames on 13 March 2015. It will be a one day class at the end of which you will have all the skills to make a simple skirt. You will learn use of interfacing, how to insert a zip, clipping curves and basic stitching.
You will need to know the very basic functions of a sewing machine. Machines can be hired from Lady Sew and Sew and fabric, zip, thread and any haberdashery needs can be bought there too.

Kaffe Fassett shirt

This fabulous shirt is made by my pupil out of a rainbow of spotty Kaffe Fassett fabrics that she chose and arranged beautifully together. The shirt was finished off with a flourish of star shaped buttons. Burda pattern 7045 was used with an added pleat at the back for a more relaxed look and fit.  The next shirt we are making is with some fabric from Zhandra Rhodes latest collection.
