Floaty Tiered Dress

£95.00

Create a beautiful, relaxed and floaty dress that’s simple to sew but has the potential to be truly fabulous! Let your fabric choice do the talking, whether you opt for a bold print or a gorgeous linen. Join Alison Leese, expert seamstress and owner of Ministry of Craft, for this one-day dressmaking workshop.

Using a fabric of your choice (see ‘What to Bring’), master essential dressmaking techniques as well as using one of our Janome overlockers for a professional finish to raw edges.

You choose the length, from a shorter, playful version to a flowing maxi dress by adding one or two skirt gathered tiers to a waist seam that sits about 5cm above the natural waist, creating a lovely, easy silhouette with bust darts. Choose either a  V-neck or round neckline, which is finished with a  facing and add the optional belt to define the waist if you fancy a little extra shape.

Tea and coffee will be available at the workshop and you are welcome to bring along your own refreshments. There will be a break to eat, so please bring along some lunch or you can pop out to a local shop.

Our sponsors, Janome, supply computerised sewing machines (5060 QDC) and where required overlockers (MyLock 654D). Unfortunately, it is not possible to bring along your own machines.
