Sew your own PJ bottoms - Jaimie or Joe by Tilly and the Buttons

If you're new to sewing or just want some tuition to improve your techniques or learn to read and follow a pattern this is the sewing workshop for you!  This Workshop Course runs over two evenings from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. 

During the workshop we will make a pair of ‘Jaimie’ pyjama bottoms or shorts using the Tilly and the buttons pattern worth £18.50 (included in the workshop cost). Let us know if you would prefer to make the male version ‘Joe’. We will teach you how to choose the right size for you, how to prepare the fabric and pattern to be set up for success.

What you will achieve

• Laying and cutting out your fabric and pattern
• Sewing the garment and learn about different seam finishes
• Finish the course with a completed pair of PJ bottoms
