You might like to bring along your favourite dress pattern & we’ll identify where you could add shirring, or choose to self draft a garment based on body measurements, we also have a number of recommended patterns that contain shirring too- a great opportunity to set yourself a new dressmaking project for Spring/summer with your new no how!

Samples created in the sessions are ideal to build a skills file to create a perfect reference guide for when you need to use that technique again! (AKA your very own sewing bible)
