Skirt in a Day Workshop

'Skirt in a Day' came round again, this time in Reading, some really lovely examples here.

All beginners, or hadn't sewn for a long time  or 'did it on school' and look what they made; they should be very proud.  3 made reversible skirts which you can see (2 here), and the other had a lovely bias bound edge.

Next Bristol date 22nd October at Bristol Folk House 0117 926 2987

I was really lucky to work with a group of friends here, so got to see them wearing their skirts that evening!

There was another one too which i'll post a photo of when I have it, really lovely, but you'll have to take my word for it for now!

Skirt in a Day Workshop

The results from the recent 'Skirt in a day' workshop that I ran at the Folk House, Bristol. Some really great results, most people had hardly sewn before, one person never before, but still went home with a finished skirt! I particularly like the one with the curved bottom.

Next class at my studio 12th March, contact me for details julie@julieroberts.co.uk

A Skirt in a Day

Another Folk House workshop, this time skirt in a day, we used an Alison Willoughby pattern shape, but concentrated more on the making rather than the embellishment, although some participants were going to add more at home after the workshop
