One Day Workshop - Simple Summer Dress
Maximum Class Size: 6
Make your own effortlessly stylish summer dress in just one day!
Level 3: Confident Beginner / Intermediate – This could be your first garment but you should be comfortable using a sewing machine and ideally have completed a couple of easy projects. Ideal as follow on from any of our Level 2 classes.
Join us for this practical and inspiring workshop where you’ll sew the Puff and Pencil Boatneck Dress - a chic and wearable sleeveless dress that’s fitted at the upper body and flares gently from the hips. With shaping panels, darts, and a flattering boatneck neckline, this dress is the perfect project to develop your dressmaking skills while creating a beautiful, versatile piece for your wardrobe.
Techniques covered:
- Work with front and back shaping panels for a flattering fit
- Sew darts for contouring and structure
- Construct a facing to create a clean neckline and armhole finish
- Insert an invisible zip for a professional closure
- Choose and work with woven fabrics for a structured yet comfortable dress
The pattern is included but you will need to bring your own fabric. Choose a woven fabric such as cotton poplin, twill or chambray or a woven viscose. A fabric with a little elastane would give extra flexibility but is not essential.
Machines, equipment & sundry materials, such as basic thread colours and interfacing are provided.

Before booking, please review our cancellation policy: Unfortunately, our classes are non-refundable. Due to small class sizes, it is also difficult to transfer bookings to a different date. If you notify us at least two weeks before the course starts, we may be able to offer an alternative date, but this is not guaranteed—early notice increases your chances.
In the event that we are forced to cancel a class, we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible and offer either a full refund or swap your booking to another suitable date.
