This is where I was today, at the vat West End Sewing Centre in Cheltenham. It was the first time I have been able to make it, the snow put payed to my winter plans to get there.
I met some lovely new people and the teachers were knowledgeable and chatted about anything we wanted. I watched as we were shown how to put in an invisible zip, it was a very neat job but gave me another sewing machine foot to add to my wish list.
We looked at various fabric pattern techniques, I liked this one a sort of crossed box pleat.
This one had a neat placketed button finish to the back. Inspiration to go home with.
