Wrap Dress Sewing Workshop: Flattering and Stylish Dress

Discover the joy of sewing your own wrap dress in this relaxed, confidence-boosting workshop. This timeless design features a fully lined bodice, long waist ties for an adjustable fit, and the choice of short sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, or sleeveless — so you can personalise the style to suit your wardrobe.With its gently shaped skirt and easy wrap construction, this dress is designed to flatter without fuss. Made in a natural fibre such as linen or cotton, it’s a versatile piece you’ll love to wear year-round — casual with sandals or dressed up with boots or jewellery.What you will learn:

• How to read and follow a sewing pattern
• Constructing and lining a bodice
• Creating a clean neckline finish
• Attaching waist ties for a secure wrap
• Gathering and attaching a skirt
• Options for sleeveless, short, or three-quarter length sleeves
• Finishing techniques for a polished, professional look

Fabric recommendations:Light- to medium-weight wovens with a soft drape, such as:

• Linen
• Cotton voile, poplin, or lawn
• Chambray or light denim
• Rayon or Tencel (only recommended for a more confident sewer as these can be a little slippery)

You’ll see our sample garments pictured in plain calico — a neutral “blank canvas” that shows the true cut, shape, and details of the design. In class, your fabric choice will give it personality, turning a base shape into something beautiful and uniquely yours.Size Chart:We are proud to run size-inclusive workshops and have chosen styles designed to flatter a wide range of body shapes with ease. Instead of standard size labels (and all the baggage they carry), we use our Gemstone Size System — because all bodies are beautiful.Our styles are designed with ease — they are not meant to be tight-fitting. This makes them comfortable, versatile, and more forgiving across different body shapes. When you book in, we will send you a guide with our size chart, recommended fabrics, and quantities required (if you have any questions about sizing before you book, please contact us).Fit Tip: If you’re between sizes and prefer your clothes roomier, go up. If you prefer a closer fit, go down. Our instructors will always help you tweak the fit in class to make sure you love the way your garment feels.Why Join Our Sewing Workshop?This workshop isn’t just about learning a sewing project – it’s about carving out dedicated time for yourself, building skills, and connecting with others in a beautiful, inspiring space.We’ve designed our classes so you can:
