Join us for this one day workshop and introduction to the general principles and skills of zero waste sewing by making a robe jacket.

It is a waist length, wide sleeved robe jacket made of a woven fabric with a stepped band on the opening (no fastenings) and one pocket. There are options to shorten the sleeves, and add top stitching to the bands.

We will be following the instructions from the book Zero Waste Patterns by Birgitta Helmersson. Zero Waste sewing uses all the fabric with no pieces leftover for the scrap bin. Ideal for thrifted or leftover fabric from other projects. There are no paper templates for the garment - shapes are measured and drawn directly onto the fabric.

Who is this course for?
Suitable for those who have used a sewing machine before and can confidently thread up and change basic settings. There is optional use of an overlocker to finish seam edges -basic instruction can be provided.
