The Carlisle Sewing Retreat - 17th June 2019
The Carlisle Sewing Retreat
17th - 21st June 2019
-----------------------------
This Retreat is all about Couture.
Couture sewing takes time and patience. Much of the construction is done by hand often because the fabrics are tricky and there could be complicated design details. Since spending time with Claire Shaeffer, who is an internationally respected author, lecuturer and columnist and has a collection of over 2000 couture garments many of which are Chanel, I have been inspired to do more couture sewing and share some of these skills.
----------------------------------
On this Retreat we will practice Couture techniques in the beautiful peaceful atmosphere of Dalston Hall Hotel.
I will be creating a lovely sewing space at the Hotel and teaching Sewing Techniques perfect for creating a Chanel Style Cardigan Jacket, Couture Skirt or Dress
