Just a reminder that next Monday I start teaching a second set of classes on The Hollyburn Skirt, details here. This time, I’ve put together a little 7-page e-book to help students prepare for the class. It identifies regular zippers and invisible zips, gives some advice on choosing fabric prints and suggests a pair of comfie shoes! Having received the odd scared phone call from students – I’m in the shop! He’s telling me it’s curtain material! – I know how mystifying these experiences can be.
It’s also worth noting that The Village Haberdashery currently has an offer on classes – book two classes and save 25% off with code STITCH2! But this offer is only valid until the end of the month, so you have – gulp – three days left to take advantage.
You can check out all the classes here.
Rather wish I could join you. It would be a great way to spend some of my unemployed time.
I wish I lived closer! Hope you have a great time.
Haha… oh boy the curtain fabric comment was definitely me in my teens. Although i’d probably be like ‘whatever! none of your business!’, storm off and make a terrible skirt out of it.
Your Schnauzer is adorable by the way! Schnauzers are one of the cutest breeds with their severe looking eyebrows.
I would love to come to one of your classes, but live too far away. Curtain material for skirts – no problem. I am very happy with my £2.99 pencil skirt made from a Dunelm curtain fabric!
Oh yes, I have no problem with curtain fabric! It can be a bit stiff, so you just need to be aware of that. I have some upholstery fabric in my stash and am determined it will become a skirt one day…
Does the VH sell such things too? Perhaps the students could pay a kit fee and choose form the selection there. It’s what we do because then new sewists don’t have to worry about such stressers, they just turn up!🙂
Yes, students can turn up and buy their fabric on the night with a discount!
