Sew Your Own Knickers
here’s your chance to learn something fun, creative and a little bit niche!
join us for a 3 hour 30 minute beginner friendly knicker making workshop, where you'll learn the foundations of sewing with stretch fabrics before making your very own pair of knickers from start to finish.
you’ll begin with an introduction to the sewing machine and the key techniques you'll need for lingerie making, including working with stretch fabrics, using a zigzag stitch and sewing with lingerie elastic.
you'll then put those skills into practice by choosing to make either a thong or bikini knicker, with step by step guidance throughout.
your fabric will be pre-cut and ready for you, and all patterns, materials, equipment and sewing machines are provided… so you can simply turn up and sew!

- how to sew with stretch fabrics

- how to use an overlocker and understand how it can be used when sewing stretch garments
