Skill Level

This one-day workshop is designed for those who have already completed our Beginner Sewing Workshop (held the previous weekend) or have equivalent foundational sewing experience. It's the next step for building your skills, moving beyond the basics into techniques that will elevate the quality and professionalism of your makes.

You'll learn to work with a wider range of finishing methods and construction techniques used in garment sewing, giving you the confidence to tackle more advanced patterns and projects with cleaner, more durable results.

By the end of the day, you'll have practised a set of core intermediate techniques that form the foundation for dressmaking at a higher level — skills you can carry forward into future projects, whether that's garment-making for yourself or progressing towards more advanced workshops.

  • How to create bias bound seam finishes for a neat, professional edge
  • Altering a neckline and creating a facing to fit
  • Choosing the right fabric and interfacing for your project
  • Sewing French seams for durable, clean-finished garments
  • Inserting a sleeve correctly for a smooth, professional finish
  • Fitting an invisible zip
  • Your own sewing machine, foot pedal and manual
  • Your machine must be in full working order — if you'd like us to service it beforehand, we can arrange this in advance
  • Your sewing kit, if you have one
  • A full workshop companion list is included in your booking confirmation email — please check this closer to the day
  • Notebook and pen
  • Lunch / refreshments
