‘FREDDIE VEST’ Sewing Class @ Tessuti Melbourne – Saturday 7th July (11am-4pm)
May 16, 2012
THE MAKERS JOURNAL
are two Melbourne designers producing a beautiful new collection of sassy and
girly sewing patterns. We will soon be stocking some instore and online, and to celebrate the launch Jo and Pamela will be hosting a FREDDIE VEST
sewing class. The design for the vest was inspired by the great Freddie
Mercury and is cut to sit high in the back with a lower relaxed front.
The girls will begin
with an introduction and review of the different ways you can trim your
vest. It looks particularly good when you combine different
textures, colours and prints together. If you’d like some assistance with
fabric selection they will be on hand an hour before the class begins to help out. Be
warned though…they love to mix things up!
This class is best
suited to sewers with an intermediate to advanced skill level and includes
laying out the pattern and cutting your fabric, straight stitching,
topstitching, working with elastic and ribbons, making tucks and casings,
gathering, bagging out and hand sewing. The vest combines interesting
pattern shapes with lots of different techniques and you’re sure to pick up a
few tips from the girls along the way. Each step will be demonstrated and
they will then be on hand to guide you as you complete your project.
