Level: Intermediate.

Ticket cost: ?37.20

In this workshop you will learn to make your own pants using reclaimed jersey material and sewing machines.


This is a relatively easy project to make and a good one if you are new to sewing with jersey (stretchy material). However, you should be already comfortable with using a sewing machine in order to be able to focus fully on the specific features of working with jersey.


What you will learn:


- how to source suitable reclaimed material for making panties

- how to work with jersey and fold over elastic using an ordinary household sewing machine

- how to work with panties pattern

- how to cut fabric and construct your very first pair of panties

- what's the trick with the waistband and leg openings

- we will also have a brief look at how to create a pattern of panties you already have, so you can reproduce your favorite panties style ad infinitum


Materials provided: practically everything you will need.


What to bring with you: You can bring your own jersey (the basic t-shirt stretchy fabric, preferably with high content of cotton), the goal is to use reclaimed -- instead of new, store-bought -- materials where possible. You might have some t-shirts in a good condition you never wear (dig deep into your wardrobe!), you may have got your hand on some off cuts, or maybe someone gave you a no longer needed piece of fabric...? If so, bring in your fabric. If not, there will be fabric provided. You can also bring your notebook or a piece of paper in case you are a fan of note-taking (highly recommended).


What you will take home: A pair of your own handmade panties, the pattern you used to make them and a life-time panties-making skill you can further develop.


Capacity of the workshop: 5

      Do star projectors work for babies?

      By alex_b · Posted

      We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.
