Have you always wanted to make your own Jacket or Coat but felt too afraid?
We can help you tackle those tricky bits you’ve always been scared to do like collars and linings.
You can bring along whatever pattern you like but a few suggestions are –
- Papercut Patterns – Nova Coat
- Merchant & Mills – Sanda
- Friday Pattern Company – Ilford jacket
- Style Arc – Logan Shacket
- Closet Core – Sienna Maker Jacket
What to bring:
- Sewing pattern of your choice cut out and ready to sew.
- Threads, buttons, zips etc (pattern will tell you and we can help you with this in class).
- Sewing kit
You might not get your garment finished in class, as we all work at different speeds. You will however have the knowledge and understanding to complete it at home. You can do some sewing at home between classes if you like but this is not necessary.

Absolutely! There is always a mixture of brand new dressmakers, those getting back into it after a break, and those who are back to do a difficult pattern with our guidance in the class. If you want a hand picking a pattern(there is a world of amazing pdf patterns out now) why not let us help you pick?
That’s entirely up to you. The aim of the class is to build up your confidence in dressmaking and get rid of those preconceived fears about patterns, so what you choose to make can be as simple or as complicated as you feel comfortable with. We can put together a pattern and a kit for you too so if you are unsure just get in touch! Remember there’s always a tutor on hand to answer all your questions no matter how big or small. Some of our favourite patterns at the moment are the Zadie Jumpsuit, the Saltwater Slip and the Saguaro Set - all of which are beginner friendly!
Yes it will! We make a toile in this class which is a mock up out of inexpensive fabric/an old duvet cover which we will help you fit to your body and then we will help you amend your paper pattern so that the next time you come to cut this out all the amendments have been made for the perfect fit!
