Dear Friend
 

The Midhurst Sewing Room is Open Again!
 

On the 17th of May, we reopened and it has been lovely to see so many of you back in The Sewing Room.

We have had workshops on using Interfacing, Seam & Hem finishes, making a Couture Skirt from Linton and various bags with the lovely Sue Cotten.

Sewalongs have also been continuing - we finished the Miri Jumpsuit and Half Slip and we have just started the fabulous Trina Dress.  Our Couture Jackets are coming along with a few more weeks of hand sewing to go.

Below you can find details of what we are planning for June with new Workshops & Sewalongs as well as events.

Happy Sewing

Best Wishes

The Dressmaker's Portfolio

Last week saw the end of this year's Dressmaker's Portfolio.
The ladies this year faced more of a challenge than usual as they had to work at home on their own during the lockdown and weren't able to attend the usual classes that would have been included.
We held weekly tutorials on Zoom to keep everyone motivated and to share ideas and inspiration.
They all achieved so much and I couldn't be more proud of them all.  Well done to Margaret, Barbara, Jean & Madeleine.
Below are just some of their fantastic creations.
You can see more by clicking on each of the pictures.

What we have made

Both myself and Amy are always sewing so we thought we would show you what we have made (or finished!) this week.

I am wearing the Hepburn Shirtwaister by Now & Then Patterns.
I made this in a gorgeous Viscose Lawn from Fabric Godmother.

Amy is wearing her new Cielo Dress by Closet Core Patterns made in a light Chambray Denim from Bloomsbury Square Fabrics.
