Sew a Shirt Dress - Lyra Dress by Tilly and the Buttons

Description

This two day workshop suitable for those who have a little bit of dressmaking under their belts and which to build their skills including collar construction, button placement, buttonholes and gathering.  We will be making the Lyra Dress from Tilly and the Buttons. This is dress is a dream and can work in every season. By signing up you will get a copy of the pattern (sent to your home when you sign up) and two days of workshop time with hands on tuition and instruction from Hannah.

You will need to buy your own fabric. 

The reason for sending out the pattern ahead of the workshop is that there is a lot of sewing in the Lyra dress particularly if you go for the longer length dress and sleeves - if you wish you can get ahead by cutting out your pattern ahead of the workshop or making a toile to check fit on the bodice.  Any questions on sizing or fabric choices just get in touch. 

This is an intermediate sewing workshop so we suggest that you are comfortable using a sewing machine and have made a garment or two before.  

Whats included - your pattern to keep which retails at £15.50, full tuition, tea/coffee and homemade cake. 

What to bring - fabric and notions and your copy of the pattern, lunch and your sewing machine (unless you plan to borrow one).
