Ever wished that certain pieces in your wardrobe had pockets? Or does the thought of zippers give you the shivers?

Well, come on down to Stitch to learn how to add pockets to your garments and conquer that fear of putting in that zip!

Within this short course our expert Pat Stevens will concentrate on working to samples of various pockets for functional and decorative use on trousers, dresses or skirts. By the end of this course you will never look sadly at an un-pocketed garment again! You will be confident and brave enough to add them whereever they are needed.

In the second half of the class Pat will be focusing on the technique and different ways of inserting zips. So when you leave you us you will have examples to look back on and reference for your future sewing adventures.

What you will cover:

- in seam pockets for trousers and skirts

- patch pockets

- how to make a basic pocket pattern.

Second half you will cover:

- doing zips in different settings

- semi exposed zips

- using zips in soft furnishings or bag making.

All materials will be provided including the use of our Janome sewing machines.

Light refreshments, biscuits and a warm learning environment, smiles and laughter and some serious sewing will be included.

What you need to bring: Nothing just yourselves!

COST: £ 45.00

DURATION: 3 hours

DATE & TIME: Saturday 9th September, 10:30-1:30pm
