Sew A Romantic Midi Dress With Lucy - Saturday 31st May

Join us on this day workshop, hosted by Lucy of Sew Cumbria and learn to sew your own Romantic Midi Dress.

A romantic midi length dress with a classic round neckline, a keyhole opening in the back, elasticated cuffs and waistband and a floaty skirt with the essential pockets! 

This is a dress that just keeps giving; sew up in a viscose for a soft feminine silhouette, or create a more structured look with a medium weight fabric like denim! Dress up or down, add layers for winter, or wear as is for summer, this dress will always feature in your wardrobe, whatever the season. 

Size range for this dress is XS - 3XL (bust 31" - 54", waist 25" - 50")

You do need to have some sewing machine experience for this course, ideally having made some simple garments.
