Sew a Sonny Jacket over Two Saturdays

Sonny Jacket Workshop

Level: Confident beginner and above

Duration: 2 days 10am to 4pm

Come along to Stitching Kitchen and have fun with fabric and thread while creating your own super versatile Sonny Jacket in this two day workshop! This easy-fit jacket comes in two lengths and two collar options, allowing you to personalize your design. Whether you choose reclaimed denim or fresh new fabric, your finished jacket will be stylish and unique.

A copy of the pattern (RRP £19.50) is included in your ticket.

What you will learn/achieve:

• Taking accurate measurements, choosing suitable size and style
• Making pattern adjustments, cutting fabrics, applying interfacing
  
• Assembling the main jacket, mock flat-felled seams, pocket details
  
• Tackling the collar, final construction, and finishing touches

While this is our planned structure, we can adapt to suit each student. Some sewing at home may be required.

What’s included:

✅ Full tuition in a small group setting
✅ Use of our Pfaff and Janome sewing machines and overlockers
✅ Sonny Jacket pattern to keep (RRP £19.50)
✅ Tea, coffee, and homemade cake

What to bring:

• Fabric and notions - see the picture of the back of the pattern envelope for more info. 
• Remember we offer 10% discount on all items of fabric and haberdashery to workshop participants
• If up-cycling denim, you’ll need approx. three pairs of jeans (ideally with minimal stretch)
• Lunch for each day.

Please note that this workshop is held in our light and spacious first floor studio at Stitching Kitchen, which is accessible by stairs.
