Be part of a small class with step by step guidance from Harriet in her studio.
You will be guided through the process of altering the pattern of one of Harriet’s summer shirts to your design and to fit you perfectly. Once your fabric is cut out, you will craft your shirt on either an industrial or domestic sewing machine with close guidance and top tips.
This workshop is for experienced sewers, beginners and any stage in between. Being part of a small group of three, you will receive close guidance and support every step of the way.
All you will need to bring is 1.5m of fabric; either a much loved fabric you’ve been waiting to use or a new fabric that you’ve fallen in love with. You can also bring your own buttons (if you are opting for a button up design) or use Harriet’s natural shell shirt buttons.
Everything else will be provided.
Lunch is included which will be provided at Depot Bakery, over the road from the studio.
Enjoy your choice of delicious sourdough toasties, home cooked soups and hot drinks
up to the price of £15.
£45 deposit is required upon booking to secure your space on the workshop.
Spaces are limited.

I have never sewn before, can I be part of the workshop?

Upon booking, I will email you more details including my favourite places to buy fabric from and which weights, composition I recommend. If you have some fabric that you have been waiting to use, this might be it!
