Just before Easter our most recent beginners dressmaking class finished their dresses using the
Laurel dress pattern by Colette! We will have a new beginners class using the same sewing pattern starting from Tuesday the 12th of April if you are interested in giving it a go yourself!
Below are three very different versions of the Laurel dress which is a great first dressmaking project for those who haven't followed a sewing pattern before or attempted sewing sleeves and zips.
You could add a contrast bias binding around the sleeves and neckline.
Andrea made her Laurel dress fit her growing baby bump by adding pleat centre front.
Or you could make the Laurel dress in a plain denim and make the pockets a bit bigger as seen above. You will get help and advice along the way as well as get to know some brand new sewists and friends!
