WHAT’S NEW ON STITCH SCHOOL
Our newest Stitch School exclusive:
The Cassie Dress
Make the pretty Cassie Dress on Stitch School with our in-depth online Workshop.
The Cassie Dress is one for the cottagecore lovers out there. If you’re after a really pretty make, look no further than Cassie, with her fully shirred bodice, bound neckline, gathered tier skirt and gently puffed sleeves.
Choose between two sleeve lengths: just above the elbow, or full length with an elasticated wrist. Cassie is midi length, but you could omit the second skirt tier to make her knee-length, if you prefer. Additional elastic is sewn in at the waist, to ensure your pretty dress maintains its shape.
With no closures and the shirring in the bodice, you get the versatility of a woven fabric, with the comfort of a knit!
The Cassie Dress sewing pattern and Workshop are exclusively accessible with a Stitch School Premium Subscription. Join Stitch School for access to Cassie and over 30 other PDF sewing patterns.
TUTORIALS
We add at least two new tutorials to Stitch School every month. We’ll be covering fun Pattern Hacks, informative techniques, answering your fitting queries and much more! You’ll get access to all of our tutorials with either of Stitch School’s subscription levels.
Ready for a neat trick? You can gather fabric on your overlocker just by making a couple of adjustments! In this tutorial Becca talks you through all the steps to super speedy gathering.
We’ve welcomed the Isabelle Blouse & Dress to the gang and we thought it was about time that we brought a raglan sleeved full and small adjustment to Stitch School!
Using the Isabelle Blouse as an example, in this lesson Layla talks through all the steps for making bust adjustments to a raglan sleeved blouse or dress, with a bust dart.
In this Fitting Friday session Becca answers the question: how do I alter a top or dress with thin strap for narrow shoulders?
As always, if you’ve got a specific fitting query then please let us know on [email protected] and we’ll do our best to film an answer just for you!
ONLINE CLASSES
Stitch School will bring you at least six new online classes every year, whether it’s a quicker Workshop with a guided sewalong to help you sew your pattern up or an in-depth Masterclass complete with detailed downloadable guides and top tips, you’ll never be short of inspiration for what to sew. All of our online classes are free to our Premium subscribers.
Learn to draft a trouser block from your own custom measurements in our new Stitch School masterclass
The best way to get the perfect fit on a pair of me-made trousers is to draft the pattern yourself. It’s not as hard as you might think! By the end of the class you will have created a perfectly-fitting trouser block that you can make into a simple pair of trousers as is, or customise in so many different ways.
Using Becca, Rosie & Layla, we’ll show you the process with three different body shapes so you’ll be able to see how the result works for everyone!
Learn to sew an ultimate pair of jeans that fit you to perfection with our online sewing masterclass. With three different styles to choose between, in this class you’ll tackle our Ultimate Jeans sewing pattern with our pro teacher Becca by your side.
With over 4.5 hours and 60 individual lessons you’ll come away with a raft of new sewing skills including how to get the perfect topstitching, how to apply rivets and buttons, how to insert a classic zip fly and what to do if your sewing machine doesn’t want to cooperate with bulky denim!
Want to be best friends with your overlocker but don’t know where to start? Well we have the course for you!
We’re bringing you one of our most loved London classes right into your home. We’ve taught hundreds of people to get comfortable with their overlocker and now we’re bringing it direct to your sewing room!
Intro to Overlocking is a skills based course that focuses on getting the most out of your overlocker. We start with the basics, covering everything from how to clean and thread your overlocker (the easy and the hard way!) to how to do some swanky hem finishes that’ll really level up your sewing.
