The Timeless Dress Workshop 7-9pm
Create your own beautiful, versatile dress in this relaxed sewing course at Hadieda. This workshop is perfect for confident beginners and anyone with basic sewing machine skills wanting to start their clothes-making journey.
Over three sessions (6 hours total), you’ll sew a timeless, easy-to-wear dress featuring dropped sleeves, an elegant boat neckline, and a softly gathered ruffled waistline. The dress can be worn loose for a relaxed fit or styled with a belt for a more fitted silhouette, and the length is completely your choice, from a shorter everyday dress to a longer flowing version.
You’ll also learn how to assemble and use PDF sewing patterns, a skill that will make future sewing projects much easier.
Choose a fabric you love, perhaps a fashionable muted linen, a floaty bright viscose, or a classic cotton. Guidance will be provided on what works best for this project.
The pattern is inclusive and adaptable, covering UK sizes 8–26, with a customisable hem length so you can make it truly your own.
By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a finished handmade dress and the confidence to continue making your own clothes.
