______________________________________________________________________

This class is aimed at beginners who are ready to move on from sewing basic bags and cushions and are wanting to have an easy entry into using paper patterns.

You'll be shown how to take measurements and work out which size to cut, how to lay patterns on fabric and how to cut out effectively.

During the class, you will make a pair of unisex pyjama bottoms, learning how to alter the pattern to ensure they fit your unique shape.

We suggest a simple cotton or polycotton for your first pair. Your first pair are a toile or test pair so choose an inexpensive fabric, the class will discuss other suitable fabrics for your next pair.

You will need to bring with you:

• your PAT Tested sewing machine – we offer PAT Testing* in store at £5 per item
• a basic sewing kit to include scissors, pins, seam ripper, chalk/marking pen or pencil, tweezers and a tape measure
• 5-3m of fabric depending on your size and whether it has a directional pattern. If you are not sure, please ask in the shop for advice.

 If you are unable to bring your own machine, we offer machine hire at the cost of £2.00 per class, to be requested at time of booking.

*If your machine requires a PAT Test, please arrange this prior to attending the class – speak to a member of staff for more details.
