Sewing With Marfy Patterns- 25th & 26th September 2025

Italian pattern company Marfy, founded in 1966,  produce wonderful designs for dressmakers who like a challenge.  Patterns are hand-cut to individual sizes, there are no seam allowances or instructions.

Marfy suggests that this true craftsmanship lets you save precious time, avoids useless time-consuming operations, and leaves you free to enjoy the true pleasure of sewing.

As an introduction, I have chosen 3 dresses for you to choose from.  Once you start sewing with Marfy you will love their bespoke designs and interesting details

4009  Slimming dress with sculpted seams. To be made in jersey fabric. 

6145  This single-breasted dress has a V shaped dickey, a shawl collar and skirt with box pleats on the side.

8516 This form-fitting dress is closed by a long zipper. It has a V-neckline, slit at the bottom and original motif at the waistline with crossed darts and stitched triangular inserts. 

The cost of the pattern is included in the workshop price.
