Slow Fashion Sewing BEGINNER ADULTS | May Series

Do you find it difficult to find clothes that fit your unique body shape, clothes that last the distance as you'd expect, or in the materials you desire?

At The ReDress Hub, we're here to help you on your journey to be more 'circular' with your clothing choices, avoid or reduce the consumption of fast-fashion, and clothing and textile waste and just basically keep your clothes in use for longer. Having clothes that fit you properly, are made to last and from fabrics you enjoy wearing, are some key reasons why people do hang onto their clothes and can wear them for decades and not just weeks or even days.

This series of four workshops has been specially designed for ADULT BEGINNERS, to assist you on your circular clothing journey, so you can start to create your own handmade 'slow-fashion' clothes and contribute to the global circular clothing movement.

The amazing Kirsty Mate will be your workshop facilitator, guiding you over the four days from how to choose fabric, read, mark, and cut out a pattern right through to constructing and finishing a garment for you to proudly wear at the end of the course.

The Slow Fashion Sewing Series includes:

Week 1, Tues 7 May: Patterns and Fabric ( how to read a dressmaking pattern and chose fabrics, laying out a pattern on fabric, pinning, marking and cutting out).

Week 2, Tues 14 May: Construction Fundamentals (seams, stay stitching, facing and under-stitching).

Week 3, Tues 21 May: Garment Construction (how to insert sleeves and add pockets)

Week 4, Tues 28 May: Finishing (hemming and/or casing)
