Sew Your Own Knickers class: SOLD OUT! Sorry peops...
At Sew Over It, South London:
Tuesday 1st April, 6.30pm - 8.30pm, £40
This session will designed to demystify and explain how to use commercial sewing patterns. This is a discussion and demonstration based class, not a practical 'doing' one. This class is perfect for someone who has already taken a beginners sewing class or generally feels ok using a sewing machine, and now wants to amp their skills to become a confident dress-maker.
Topics covered will include:
- What to do if your measurements span two or more sizes on the pattern
- What to do if you are taller or shorter than the pattern has been designed for
- What the differences between vintage and modern patterns are How to select appropriate fabric for your pattern
- What all the symbols on the pattern mean and what to do about them
- Plus lots more.

Teaching is like riding a bike, I'm sure you'll pick it right up :)
Good luck starting your classes again!
They sound like great classes. Shame the 'make your own knickers' is sold out. I dabbled with knicker making but I couldn't get the hang of getting the elastic on properly. Maybe I'll try again now I've got an overlocker.
Good luck with them all - I'm sure you'll be fine.
Good luck! You'll have a great time when you get going.
Good for you I'm sure you'll enjoy teaching again. I want to attend a class(though in brighton or near by rather than london). A lot of the classes I see advertised sound like they are for absolute beginners, and though I'd still term myself as a newbie to sewing, I'm confident on the machine and have made rather a lot of wearable clothes- what I need now is to refine my skillls and learn techniques like zips with a bit more finesse than I currently have! Any recommendations?
I'm sure you will be fine with the teaching. I can see that it would be nice to use different skills than childminding for a change! Have fun!
They look like terrific classes!
Good luck re-entering the work force. I'm sure things will go well!
Lots of luck! I wish I could join...
It'll be great because you're great! :)
Having attended 'Intro to Commercial patterns' myself at Sew Over It, I can say that it was a really useful course and Zoe was a great teacher!
I'd love to come to any of those classes. I'm dying to try my hand at that renfrew top, especially with one of those knit fabrics you linked to! Lovely.
