Dress-in-a-Day • 27th June

Join us for a day of sewing and make the Everyday Chic Dress!

Whether you are a beginner, or you have the experience but would like to enjoy some social sewing, you will go home with a beautiful dress that you have made yourself. Suitable for adventurous beginners and upwards, you can make our Everyday Chic Dress with help every step of the way.


Date: Thursday 27th June • 9.30am – 5pm • Cost £110

Only 8 places available

The Everyday Chic Dress is a softly fitting A-line shape with a boat neck and V opening neckline. It has deep integrated pockets and generous raglan sleeves. The optional smocked panels at the back and under the bust pull it in for flattering and comfortable fit. The front cover version is shown without smocking.

The workshop runs from 9.30am – 5pm and includes the cost of the pattern and a light lunch. Tara will be your teacher for the day – she has a relaxed, cheerful manner and plenty of experience teaching everyone from beginners to the more capable. She will be able to help you with every element, from taking your own measurements to creating the perfect neckline trim.

You do not need to bring anything except your own fabric and thread. There are sewing machines, scissors and everything you could need on hand at the studio, however, if you prefer to sew on your own machine, that is fine too. You are very welcome to bring your own.

Sew Different is located within the Dean Clough mill complex in a dedicated sewing studio with lots of natural light. We are located on the first floor with lift access. Halifax town centre, bus station and train station are a ten minute walk from the studio. There is free parking on site at the weekend.

Private workshops for solo sewists or small groups can be arranged. They can be run to a similar format as our listed retreat but you would have the studio to yourselves. The advantage of this is that we can customise the itinerary to suit you. Please email [email protected] to discuss your requirements.
