Stitch it Like a Queen sewing classes are back at The Glory for a double masteclass where you will learn to make every performers' holy grail of a garment: a catsuit!
As this is a beginner/intermediate workshop, it will be split into two classes.
In the first class on the 18th of November you will learn how to adjust the pattern of a catsuit to your measurements, make a test prototype and check the fit, and learn how to choose the fabric for your catsuit.
In the second class on the 25th of November you will cut and make your garment from the pattern you made out of the material of your choice.
You will receive personalised advice on making your catsuit during both classes.
Please bring the following tools: pattern paper (or large sheets of paper that the pattern can be traced onto), scissors, pencil, needles and thread, measuring tape, pins, a sewing machine, ballpoint sewing machine needles for jersey/elastics.
For the 18th November class, please bring 2,5 meters of a stretch fabric for the prototype/fit testing.
For the 25th November class, please bring 3 meters of your fabric of choice for the final catsuit design.
After the classes, stay on for the free show!
Class ticket price: £15 (booking fee not included)
