14 hours total (over 7 dates) Class size 1 to 2 guests       £215 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Is it a shirt, a jacket? A shacket, a coat, or even a dress? It can be whatever you want it to be! "Choose your own adventure" style sewing is what we are all about at Make Mee Studio.
In this seven-week course, we'll be sewing Friday Pattern Company's versatile Ilford Jacket pattern. This design looks fab on all expressions of gender, and it's pretty easy to sew. There are a few tricky bits that will further your sewing know-how.
During the course, you’ll learn:
  • How to achieve the perfect fit
  • How to customise a pattern to your own design
  • Sewing plackets, facings, pockets, and collar
  • How to finish seams
  • How to sew buttons and buttonholes
The course is led by Make Mee's friendly and experienced sewing teachers. Class sizes are small, so you'll receive plenty of 1-2-1 guidance during our Sew Your Own Way sessions where everyone will be working on their own project.
What you'll get
We will be using Friday Pattern Company’s Ilford Jacket pattern. A copy of the pattern is inclusive with the course price. We will have the pattern printed ready for you to use in the class, and you will receive the digital file you can download and use again and again!
The pattern comes in sizes XS (32”/81cm chest) to 7XL (60”/152cm chest).
Knowledge required
This course is suitable for beginners who have used a sewing machine before, or those with some experience who want to learn new skills.
What to bring
Fabrics can be purchased from our studio, but you're welcome to bring your own. We recommend 2-3 metres of woven fabric for the regular jacket length and 2.5-3 metres for the longer jacket.
