  'Beginners Lingerie' Days

So you do have a passion for lingerie, but no previous sewing experience or it has been a while since you have used a sewing machine and feel a bit 'rusty'? 

Our  'Beginners Lingerie' Days are aimed at students with very little or no sewing experience.

'Beginners Lingerie Day'

The day will focus on: a step by step guide of

- how to use a domestic sewing machine

 - different stitches used in professional garment making with a focus on lingerie making

- how to attach elastics, fine laces, silks etc 

-lots more sewing tips and tricks

depending on the progress of each student you will be encouraged to assemble a pair of knickers or a thong that day.

This intensive day should give students good basic sewing skills to join us in any of our future bra/lingerie weekends.

Classes are deliberately small, so early booking is highly recommended.

Thanks so much I really enjoyed the class, I learned loads and im going to practise all the techniques.  Yes I will see how I get on with what I've learned and might come down for the advanced bra making course another time.  I've started on another bra already!

 Take care,

Jenna

I thoroughly enjoyed my 3 day course with you.
Thank you so much for the opportunity and for sharing your knowledge with us -
it's unfortunate that you could not pass on to us fairy fingers like yours to make fantastic lingeries like toute de suite!
 Hope you got to relax a wee bit with us as you had hoped to ! ;-)

Thanks again for the weekend. I did expect to come away with something that faintly resembled a bra but surprised myself - and a few others with the results!

Please do let me know if you schedule an advanced class as I would like to know how to make them for my size - which is a bit bigger and would need a different style.....

Tess

The course was great, I really enjoyed it. Thanks also for the extra time and help you gave me to cover what I missed in the other class, really appreciate it.

Hope to see you again in January,

Best wishes

We also strongly recommend to watch  Mary Portas series called:

- Bottomline -

It is a rather interesting take on the UK's lingerie manufacturing business and Mary makes an effort to bring knickers production back to the UK.
