KNICKER MAKING WORKSHOP WITH EMILY HOLLIDAY - 2 LEFT!
We’re delighted to launch this class teaching you how to make your own knickers! In this workshop you’ll spend the day sewing elasticated bamboo briefs in a style of your choice. From a pre-prepared pattern block (sizes 8–20, hips 30”–44”), you can mix and match waistlines (low, mid, high) and leg cuts (low or high) to create anything from full-coverage hipsters to cheeky minis….!
- In the morning, you'll be given a wealth of information and techniques to try. We’ll start with sampling and elastic techniques, then choose your size and style, and trace your own set of patterns to amend and keep.
- In the afternoon, after a gorgeous lunch provided, you will have the time to make your briefs come to life, using a soft bamboo jersey and a choice of decorative trims.
You will be taught by our very own Emily Holliday! She is a lingerie specialist, working locally as a remote garment technologist and manufacturer. She graduated from the London College of Fashion in 2023, with knowledge in all things from lingerie design, construction, and the intimates and swimwear industry. Her blend of technical skill and creative design ensures you’ll learn professional techniques in an accessible way.
This class uses stretch fabrics, so machine experience is essential. Please bring your own machine (info below). There is a big learning curve with these trims and fabrics! Emily has packed it full of information and design choice so you truly get a worthwhile experience. It is an intense but rewarding day full of technical insight, which will certainly give you a new appreciation for the game once you've made your first pair!
Breaks can be taken as needed, with group breaks in the morning and afternoon.

* 10.00am – 4.30pm (please arrive 10 minutes early to ensure a prompt start). Lunch at 1.00pm
