Read a pattern, cut fabric and construct an archetypal chef’s apron from scratch at this workshop over two weeks, led by The System.
You will learn the anatomy of a domestic sewing machine and its functions, how to thread the machine, wind a bobbin, the role of thread tensions, and a number of different stitches and settings.
You will learn how to read a pattern, cut fabric following correct grainlines, and construct the pieces into one-of-three apron designs.
You’ll also learn to sew both straight and curved seams, how facings function, to mark and place functioning patch pockets, how to finish edges neatly and how to bag out and create long ties for your apron.
The use of an overlocker for the facings will be an option in this class.
This class is designed for absolute beginner sewers to confident intermediate sewers. Three levels of difficulty will be provided to cater to your skill level.
The System is a newly launched fashion brand by Convent-based designer and pattern maker Jack Hancock.
The System aspires to create functional, intelligent clothing that facilitates the realisation of an individual’s authentic expression, and delivers a range of clothing and textile education modalities.
