028-Embroidered Paper Collage
Thu 8 Oct 2026 11:45am - 12:45pm
Welcome to this paper collage embroidery workshop, where we'll explore the exciting space between paper, stitch, and mark-making.

We'll begin by creating small paper collages using paper, colour, and mark-making, thinking about balance, contrast, and rhythm. These collages will then become the foundation for embroidery, as we stitch directly into the paper with threads and yarns. This workshop is suitable for all levels and is aimed at those who enjoy working experimentally. There are no fixed outcomes here; the focus is on play and developing confidence in your own visual language. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit

You'll leave with a handy reference sample of every technique we practise, giving you a lasting resource to refer back to on all your future dressmaking projects. This workshop requires you to be able to thread and sew a straight line on a sewing machine. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit

Fri 9 Oct 2026 2pm - 3pm
A flat lock seam can be used to join two thicker fabrics together with very little bulk so the seam sits flat. It's particularly used for sportswear and utility fabrics where the thicker fabrics need a low bulk seam. This stitch gives two distinct looks on each side so Becky will also show you how to use different threads for this stitch in a decorative way. This stitch can also be used to make a faux-cover stitch or blind hem on a project or to stop a fringe on an open weave fabric from fraying too much. You will work through lots of samples and different fabrics so you will have a set of samples and the confidence to continue at home. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit

Fri 9 Oct 2026 2:45pm - 3:45pm
Have you always avoided making garments with pockets just because you thought that they are so difficult and might even ruin your dressmaking projects? This workshop will explore two types of pockets: inseam and set-in pockets. Inseam pockets are the type of pockets that are hidden in a seam of your garment and are entirely enclosed by the outer layers, leaving no visible edges or stitching lines. A Set-in Pocket is made by cutting an opening in the garment and stitching the pocket bag to the inside of the garment so only the opening is visible. You will make samples of both types.

Sat 10 Oct 2026 10:30am - 12pm
Join the RSN to explore two fascinating stitches: Whipped and Woven Wheels. Whipped wheel, also known as "Spider's" wheel, can be worked over an odd or even number of spokes and produces quite a raised stitch that adds an interesting ribbed texture. Woven wheels feature in Elizabethan embroidery and are typically stitched in metal thread. Our tutors will demonstrate these stitches in different sizes and will give you time to create your own examples with a variety of coloured threads. The tutors will also show examples of how your stitches can be turned into brooches and keyrings. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit

177-Mastering the Art of Body Measurement
Sat 10 Oct 2026 12:15pm - 1:15pm
Are you tired of purchasing patterns or clothing only to find they never quite sit right? Perhaps you've cut out a "Size 12" only to realise it is far too large or small, or found that standard waist-to-hip ratios never align with your unique shape. The truth is, commercial patterns and ready-to-wear garments are designed for a non-standardised "average" rather than an individual body. Learning to measure the body accurately unlocks the ability to adapt any pattern to your specific proportions before you ever pick up your fabric shears, ensure an excellent fit for your sewing projects, but it also provides a foolproof guide for online shopping eliminating returns and helping to reduce the environmental impact of textile waste. You will learn how to accurately take measurements for tops, skirts, and trousers. Understanding the vital difference between body measurements and finished garment measurements, and why "ease" is the secret to comfort and style.

256-Flat Locking on the Overlocker
Sun 11 Oct 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm
A flat lock seam can be used to join two thicker fabrics together with very little bulk so the seam sits flat. It's particularly used for sportswear and utility fabrics where the thicker fabrics need a low bulk seam. This stitch gives two distinct looks on each side so Becky will also show you how to use different threads for this stitch in a decorative way. This stitch can also be used to make a faux-cover stitch or blind hem on a project or to stop a fringe on an open weave fabric from fraying too much. You will work through lots of samples and different fabrics so you will have a set of samples and the confidence to continue at home. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit

255-Mastering the Art of Body Measurement
Sun 11 Oct 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm
Are you tired of purchasing patterns or clothing only to find they never quite sit right? Perhaps you've cut out a "Size 12" only to realise it is far too large or small, or found that standard waist-to-hip ratios never align with your unique shape. The truth is, commercial patterns and ready-to-wear garments are designed for a non-standardised "average" rather than an individual body. Learning to measure the body accurately unlocks the ability to adapt any pattern to your specific proportions before you ever pick up your fabric shears, ensure an excellent fit for your sewing projects, but it also provides a foolproof guide for online shopping eliminating returns and helping to reduce the environmental impact of textile waste. You will learn how to accurately take measurements for tops, skirts, and trousers. Understanding the vital difference between body measurements and finished garment measurements, and why "ease" is the secret to comfort and style.

267-A Fabric Masterclass
Sun 11 Oct 2026 3pm - 4pm
From Fibre to Finished Garment. Understanding how fabric is created and how fibre and weave affect the look, drape, and performance, is an essential skill for every dressmaker and home sewist. The combination of fibre, yarn, and construction dictates not only the appearance of a fabric but also its suitability for a specific design. By mastering these elements, you can eliminate the disappointment of choosing the wrong material and ensure your handmade garments turn out perfectly every time. In this comprehensive workshop, you will explore: where fibres come from and the processes used to transform them into yarns, including an overview of their environmental impact. The four major weave types and how their construction influences the aesthetics and "hand" of the finished cloth. Understand how knits are constructed and how they perform differently than woven fabrics. Alternative Constructions: an introduction to other specialised fabric manufacturing.

Sun 11 Oct 2026 3pm - 4pm
Have you always avoided making garments with pockets just because you thought that they are so difficult and might even ruin your dressmaking projects? This workshop will explore two types of pockets: inseam and set-in pockets. Inseam pockets are the type of pockets that are hidden in a seam of your garment and are entirely enclosed by the outer layers, leaving no visible edges or stitching lines. A Set-in Pocket is made by cutting an opening in the garment and stitching the pocket bag to the inside of the garment so only the opening is visible. You will make samples of both types.
