    Description

    Join us for a fun workshop to learn how to hand smock, or continue where you left off the last time you smocked with Maria. Smocking is an embroidery technique that uses small stitches to gather the fabric. In the olden days, as well as being decorative, it also served a practical purpose - as the gathered fabric can stretch it is perfect for necklines or cuffs. These days you will usually find hand smocking on children's dresses, but it also looks great on women's clothes too.

    About your Teacher:

    As well as being an incredible designer, pattern cutter and seamstress Maria Pulley is also an excellent teacher, whose passion for sewing is infectious. She loves the whole process of creating a garment, from the concept through to the craft of making it.

    Class Size:

    Maximum class size of 6

    Skills:

    Beginners

    Materials:

    You will need to provide a little fabric to experiment with. Something with a geometric print, like small spots, stripes or checks would be ideal as you can use the print as a guide.

    Duration:

    1 half day

    Venue:

    The workshop is held in our modern and vibrant studio at the Clothkits shop. We are located in central Chichester, about a 10 minute walk from the train and bus station. The closest car park is The Cattle Market.
