Join this dungaree making class in Brockley and craft a pair of timeless, practical trousers that have been a staple of the studio since the very beginning. Inspired by a vintage pattern, these dungarees are designed for comfort and style, offering a fun project that's perfect for any gender.
You'll work on your own unique pair during a social session or Sew Your Own Way where everyone brings their own creative energy to the table and works on their own project. It's a low-pressure environment where you can focus on picking up new skills while enjoying the company of fellow makers. Your teacher will be on hand to guide you through the trickier parts, ensuring you feel confident as you hammer in those final studs.
Throughout the course, you'll learn:
  • How to check and adapt sizing to suit your body shape
  • Pockets – many, many pocket options available! (What's the point in clothes without pockets??)
  • Topstitching
  • Facings
  • How to attach dungaree clips and studs
You'll leave the studio with a new-found appreciation for garment construction and a custom-made wardrobe staple to show off. This experience provides a rewarding way to sharpen your sewing abilities and walk away with a high-quality keepsake you'll want to wear every day.

What to bring
We have a selection of fabrics and trims in the studio which you can purchase from us. If you would like to bring your own fabric, you will need 2.5 - 3m of fabric.
A medium or lightweight woven is ideal; these dungarees will not work in stretch fabric. Feel free to get in touch before the class to discuss fabric choices.
The fabric should be washed before you use it. A normal 30-degree wash is perfect.
