Summer and pretty cotton fabrics go together like strawberries and cream. Make your little girls summer by creating gorgeous traditional sundresses. We have chosen a dress that has a shirred elastic bodice top – this will teach you a couple of extra skills rather than just creating a simple dress (a little more challenging) and allows for growing room!
The topics we aim to cover are:
- Learn how to cut accurately
- How to finish edges
- Using shirring elastic
- Attaching straps
- Different hems
Materials needed:
Ideally you should bring along a cotton/cotton blend fabric.
- Assuming fabric widths of 115cm
- Age 2 – 50cm fabric
- Age 4 – 90cm fabric
- Age 6 -130cm fabric
- Age 8 – 140cm fabric
- 1 x 10m reel if shirring/sewing elastic
- 1 reel of thread to match or contrast your fabric

Ho Ho Ho. Christmas is round the corner and we get very excited by Christmas in Bobbin Towers. This is a lovely session and one we are really looking forward to as it’s an excuse to crack open the mince pies. We will make a lovely Christmas stocking with applique so you can add your own names and ideas to the design if you wish. Your imagination is really the only thing stopping you! We will have lots of examples to give you some inspiration and get you feeling creative and festive.
