The Maker's Atelier Sewing Retreat

Brighton 21st - 23rd April 2027     £620

This year The Maker’s Atelier sewing retreat is dedicated to making the perfectly lined coat. We will be following a new pattern due for release in November: The Opera Coat has a slightly flared silhouette with a choice of sleeve length and standard collar, funnel neck or collarless neckline.

Over the three days of the retreat we will cover fit, including shoulder and bust adjustments. As well as demonstrations on all the techniques needed to achieve a professional finish from collar points to buttonholes.

Frances will present the latest trends and fabrics for the seasons ahead and this will be followed by an opportunity to go fabric shopping with Frances and Claire.

Throughout the three days you will be guided through the making process for your coat, along with the skills and the confidence to make more in the future.

This will be an intensive but enjoyable three days for you to take your sewing skills to a new level, while socializing with like-minded people. It will be fun!
