Intermediate - Make a pair of PJ's using a commercial pattern!

This day is for those who are becoming confident using their sewing machine but want to learn to sew something using a commercial paper pattern. You may have previously attended one of my beginners sewing machine classes, in which case this class is the perfect next step.

During the 5-hour day (half an hour is allowed for lunch and a bit of time either end of the day for set up and clear up) Steph will explain what the info on a paper pattern means and how to interpret it. Steph will teach you how to lay your paper pattern onto the fabric, cut your item out and then guide you through every stage till you complete your finished sewn garment.

Steph provides the pattern with size options of size of Xs, medium, Large and xxL. If you are a size that it outside of these please contact me before booking this class.

• Fabrics. For the P J bottoms please bring 3 meters of medium weight cotton fabric. Make sure it's not stretch fabric. You will have some fabric left but you can use this to make something to co-ordinate when you get home.

• Sewing machine (please ensure it works).

• Pen and pencil.

• Notebook.

• Hand sewing needles and some pins.

• Thread to match the fabric you have chosen.

• Sharp scissors, preferably a small pair and a large pair, for cutting out fabric.

Tea and coffee is provided. There's nowhere nearby to get lunch so please bring a packed lunch with you.

There is ample free parking at Westbury.

*The step by step process with help and extra explanation was invaluable. Can’t wait to make more! - Ellie

*Really pleasant day and all my panic soothed - Allison

*Steph is a great teacher, she gives you lots of practical and hands on activities where you actually produce something creative at the end of it! Through her sewing classes she has really inspired me to learn more. Steph’s own designs are fun, colourful and modern, sometimes thought provoking. She likes to move with the times, but her designs remain true to her style - Jenni
