Brilliant Basics II
10th, 17th November (8pm–9pm UK)
A request that often surfaces during our Masterclasses is how to install an invisible zip. Some stitchers seem to find it quite an intimidating exercise that can be further complicated according to the properties of the fabric that is chosen.
These two Masterclasses should give you the necessary knowledge and skills to remove the anxiety.

From Fabric to Finish III
12th, 19th, 26th January, 2027
A ‘yukata’ is a light, cotton, kimono-style garment, usually worn in the summer months by women or men. They are quite simple in style with a sash-like ‘obi’ wrapped around the waist as a fastening, and often to be seen in the communal bath houses. In fact the two Japanese characters that make up the word 浴衣 mean ‘bathe’ and ‘garment’.
Because they are so comfortable and easy to wear, and as the cold weather is with us, I have taken this idea to create a winter version.

"The Great British Sewing Bee 2026 masterclass series is great! I had worried I was too much of a beginner but the techniques shared are so clearly taught and helpfully described I'm gaining confidence in areas I didn't think I'd even try yet."

“This Masterclass format is so clever. Having other stitchers make the same thing you are gives the experience much more depth. And when mistakes are made we all learn even more.”

“All the knowledge and techniques I learned are transferable skills that can be used in future garments. I can comfortably say that I learnt couture techniques from a Master Tailor.”
