Jacket or Gilet Sewing Workshop

A Simple Make, Elevated

Join us for a creative and inspiring full-day sewing workshop, where you’ll create your very own Jacket or Gilet — an autumn/winter wardrobe essential designed to be both timeless and wearable.

This workshop is perfect for sewists wanting to build confidence in garment construction while learning beautiful finishing techniques in a warm, supportive environment. Whether you choose a cosy quilted version or a clean unquilted style, you’ll leave with a versatile handmade layer to wear all season long.

There will also be the opportunity to quilt your fabric in class, making this a fantastic introduction to simple quilting techniques and texture creation.

Throughout the day, Fauve & Asmaa will guide you step-by-step through the process, helping you achieve a professional finish while enjoying a relaxed and friendly sewing atmosphere.

** Please note you are welcome to bring your own pattern however the price remains the same as the patterns provided **
