Dressmaking club

Dressmaking Club

The fun starts every Wednesday evening at Hopton & Coton Village Hall


The dressmaking club is ideal if you can already operate a sewing machine but feel new to dressmaking. You don’t need any previous garment-making experience. Everything is explained clearly, with time to practise and ask questions, so you can build confidence as you go.
What to expect:
  • Learn how to take accurate body measurements and understand body shape.
  • Find your correct pattern size and make simple adjustments.
  • Prepare fabric and understand lay plans.
  • Cut out fabric and read pattern pieces with confidence.
  • Sew different seams and learn essential dressmaking terminology.
  • Pressing techniques for a professional finish.
  • Make and complete your handmade outfit!
The dressmaking club runs weekly, providing time between sessions to practise at home or continue sewing with newfound friends. Upon booking, you’ll receive fabric and pattern suggestions, focusing on beginner-friendly designs featuring no fastenings and convenient pockets. Join us at the dressmaking club as you walk away with a handmade outfit to call your own.
What you'll get
  • A wearable handmade outfit!
  • A host of new sewing skills.
  • Warning: Learning to sew may lead to a fabric-buying addiction and a compulsion to look at how clothes are made.
  • New friends will be made, and there will be an increased tea, cake, and biscuits intake.
