Twin Made Dungaree Dress Making Workshop
TWIN MADE DUNGAREE DRESS MAKING WORKSHOP
One of my favourite and most popular workshops at Twin Made is our Dungaree Dress Making Workshop. It is a regular on our monthly listings and has even become a popular Crafterparty choice, with as many as five all making a dungaree dress each. We also regularly get bookings for sessions, so people can fit in this workshop around work and childcare.
Here are some examples made during previous classes: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/twinmade/twin-made-dungaree-dress-workshop/
“Attended a dungaree dress making workshop at the end of March and I had a wonderful time. I booked it as a surprise for my gang of girls and they all thoroughly enjoyed. Charlotte was fab at talking us through each stage and we have all gained confidence using the sewing machines... something I thought I'd never see myself enjoy doing! The dresses are gorgeous and Charlotte was super supportive over email leading up to the event and was a massive help in buying the fabric to help a novice like me out! Would strongly urge you all to attend an event, not only will you have a thoroughly lovely time but you will gain skills to make your mothers proud!” - Ali, Cardiff
For this workshop you will need to bring 1.5/2 meters of a pre-washed medium fabric, twill and cord work great, we have even had one attendee use her Catronaught duvet cover! We provide everything else. The pattern is based on your hip measurements, which we will have ready for you. The pattern has lots of variations so you can decide if you would like a front and back centre seam or not, 0-5 pockets and short or midi length.
You will layout the pattern, pin and cut the fabric, add tailor's tacks for the pockets before constructing the dress. Our workshops are small, so you get a machine each and can use the overlocker to neaten and add a professional finish to your dress and we can add the dungaree clips, before trying on to decide on length and hemming.
You will take your dress home with your pattern and we will email you a clearly illustrated how-to-guide and dungaree hack so you can make lots more.
