Marcy Tilton Month
This month the dressmaking workshops will all be using the wonderful designs of Marcy Tilton. Based in Oregon, USA, Marcy designs patterns for Vogue which are fabulous, wearable garments with lots of design detail.
Marcy’s love of sewing comes through in her designs, curved seam lines, A-symmetrical hemlines, different darts and tucks, unusual pocket details and seam finishes all make for exciting original garments.
We have chosen a mix of patterns using various fabrics so if you are looking for an unusual design, would like to learn new techniques or work with a difficult fabric there is something for everyone.
An exciting challenging month for everyone and we are really looking forward to creating beautiful garments.
