The Avid Seamstress sewing weekend
Welcome to our exclusive Avid Seamstress Sewing Weekend at the Guthrie & Ghani sewing studio!
Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th August From 10:00am – 5:00pm
Hosted by the renowned pattern designer and founder of Avid Seamstress, Lisa Falconer, this weekend promises an unforgettable journey into garment making.
Get ready to bring your sewing dreams to life as you select from a range of Avid Seamstress patterns. With Lisa's expert guidance, you'll stitch up your chosen garment, all while soaking in the atmosphere of our studio and connecting with fellow sewing enthusiasts. Share tips and tricks, and enjoy creating alongside like-minded individuals. It's not just about the sewing; it's about the camaraderie too!
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the creative force behind Avid Seamstress. Reserve your spot now.
Before our workshop begins, it's worth noting that some patterns may require a bit of pre-workshop preparation, such as creating a toile. Additionally, for certain patterns, it's recommended to have all your materials cut out in advance to maximise our sewing time together over the weekend.
Not to fret though! Lisa will personally guide you through these details in a pre-workshop consultation call. This ensures you're fully prepared and equipped to make the most out of our sewing adventure. We're here to make your experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible!
