You’ll be making a machine made buttonhole and a covered button for this project, as well as stitching and finishing beautiful curves and using fusible interfacing.
Bring along about a quarter metre of cotton fabric, or two fat quarters of craft cotton so you have an interesting contrasting lining.

Your Tutor
Name: Jane Neesam
Bio: Jane graduated with a degree in Fashion and Textiles from Leicester Polytechnic, specialising in Contour Fashion (corsetry, lingerie and swimwear). Working as a bra designer and later as a garment technologist in the lingerie industry, Jane relished the challenges and new skills that manufacturing presented. Whilst training and qualifying as a tutor in the volunteer sector, Jane realised she could transfer those skills to share her passion and knowledge of making clothes with others. Her goal is to facilitate a sewing session where students can learn and develop at their own pace and where everyone feels valued and at ease.
