We can’t wait to share this brand new workshop with you. One of the things we hear most often is that folks are afraid to use overlockers. We want to change that! We know they look super intimidating to thread up but we promise you, once you know how to use them, you will never look back. Over the course of a weekend you will learn everything you need to know about using an overlocker with confidence, and you will get to practice your new skills by sewing up garments. You will have the option of sewing any combination of our loungewear or sportswear related patterns. That includes the Margot Trousers, Zahra Jumper, Lottie top and Bra, Della Leggings and shorts or the Kezia Top. You have the choice of making them in either organic cotton jersey or 100% recycled nylon. We will be getting extra creative in this workshop with design details and invidual customisation.

*SPECIAL OFFER: GET THIS WORKSHOP FOR HALF PRICE WHEN YOU ORDER AN OVERLOCKER FROM US BETWEEN MARCH-JUNE 2024. Simply order the overlocker of your choice here and we will send you a discount code to book onto the workshop.
