The Crafting Club: Using sewing pattern with fabric

Want to learn a new skill?

Join other enthusiasts as they share step-by-step guidance on how to start your crafting journey.

The focus for this workshop is using sewing patterns when cutting fabric.

This includes understanding the grain line principle, a refresh of commercial sewing pattern essentials and basic fabric considerations.

This will include:

• Cutting Talk - basic refresh of important elements of the fabric grainline principle
• What is the grain line?
• The cross grain – pros and cons
• The bias grain – pros and cons
• Notches – 2 transfer methods - how to, pros and cons
• Dots – how to transfer – e.g. single point and double-point darts
• Pleats – broken and solid lines
• Seam allowances and hem annotations not always in the instructions

After the event, Amber will be on-hand to answer any questions and help you pick the right pattern for your project.

Whether you're coming by yourself or with a group, we look forward to welcoming you to our event.

Tickets are £10, redeemable on any Haberdashery purchase on the day.
