Location: Farfield Mill

If you are new to sewing or have sewn before and would like to learn how to make your Apron from start to finish, then this is for you. You will learn to lay a pattern, cut it out, sew on straps and sew on a pocket, as well as do top stitching, giving a very professional finish to your Apron.
What the workshop will cover:
Setting up your sewing machine and workspace.
Guidance to cutting out the pattern. Laying up cloth to achieve best usage of your cloth.
Pinning and cutting the cloth, transferring notches and tips to make cutting out a breeze.
Constructing your Apron – how to sew your garment together, importance of pressing as you go and using the overlocker to neaten the seams. I have overlockers for you to use and a steam iron to create a beautiful, finished Apron.
I will guide you through each step.
Thread (most colours available)
You will need to bring:
Your sewing machine: make sure you bring the foot pedal, pins and small scissors for cutting threads etc. (pins and scissors will be available if you forget to pack them.)
Larger Scissors for cutting out the cloth (I can provide if needed)
Thread, only if colour is special. (I have a lot of thread colours to use)
You will need a metre of cloth for your apron. A heavy cotton would be good to use. Best to use a woven cloth not a stretch.
I can provide Calico or Denim cloth or a Khaki green heavy cotton at £10 per mtr. If you do not have any cloth to bring. Just let me know what you would like.
