Shirring - Sewing Workshop!

In this workshop you will learn how to sew shirring. You can choose to make either a shirred dress or shirred top.

In the workshop we will go through the entire process. From how to work out a shirring pattern, how to set up your machine for shirring, how to test the technique and how to make the garment. You will get to go home with a completed garment and all of the knowledge to sew many more variations.

Shirring is such a great technique to learn!

This is an adults workshop suitable for ages 16+.

If a place in a class is booked it is the students responsibility to attend the classes. We are unable to provide a refund or credit or transfer for missed classes. All purchases are final.

Our class sizes are limited, and by booking into a class we: held the spot for you, purchased and prepared materials and paid the tutor for your spot and the time they spent preparing for the class.

Class times can be found on our website threadroom.co.nz

If you are able to let us know prior to the term starting that you will be missing a lesson, occasionally a catch up session can be arranged, but only if we have availability and at the desecration of Thread Room.

We cannot guarantee that you will complete your project during the term, but we will give guidance to help you select a project that is suitable for your skill level to be completed in our class timeframe. If you do not attend all classes, you may not complete project.

For individual projects students are expected to bring in their own fabric for the project or purchase one of our basic materials. We will give guidance on this before it is needed.

Kids and Teenagers Classes:

If your child will be missing a term class you must let us know.

We will try to provide a catch up session, because we work through set projects it is highly recommended they attend so they do not fall behind in the class. If they miss more than two classes, a catch up class fee will be charged for catch up sessions. If students do not attend all of the classes, they may not finish the term projects.

We cannot provide materials and instructions for the projects to be completed independently at home.

We may alter class projects if we feel students need more time. We want everyone to learn to sew in a fun, stress free environment.

If you are able to give us at least two weeks notice, a credit or exchange can be provided.
