The styles of zipper fastenings we will focus on in the workshop are: Lapped zipper (Great for dresses and skirts) Exposed metal zipper (For biker jackets and a more contemporary option for skirt and dresses) Trouser fly fastenings (with zip guard) We do focus on the invisible zipper in our other workshop (Make a dress in a Day!), but if we have time at the end of the workshop, we can cover this also.

We all seem to struggle with sleeves, therefore, we have created a new workshop, within our "Master" collection range, which will focus just on setting in the perfect sleeve. We will begin by getting to grips with ease, and explaining why the sleeve is 'always' bigger than the armhole, and how we work with this, in our sewing techniques. Craig, your host, has a host of techniques up his sleeve! (sorry!) We will be concentrating on a tailored jacket sleeve, so Craig can teach you about the importance of prepping your sleeves first, with interfacing, for structure. But also how to sew in shoulder pads and sleevehead roll, for that crisp tailored finish. During this 2.5 hour workshop, we will focus on the following: Sleeve pattern Vs Bodice pattern - why the difference is measurements?
