Course description
Improve your existing machine sewing skills on our 3 week Pekka jacket making course held at our Staple Hill studio and taught by expert tutor Lauren Holloway. Inspired by traditional Japanese clothing, the Pekka is an oversized mid-season jacket with wide armholes and a simplified lining. Its slightly cropped sleeves and generously sized pockets make it a stylish choice for layering. This is a versatile jacket which can be adapted to suit a variety of seasons. During the course you will learn how to cut your pattern pieces from fabrics or your choice along with how to attach a lining to your jacket, create oversized pockets and a collar. Learn essential tips and tricks for dressmaking along with how to work with a variety of different materials. This is the perfect course for anyone wanting to improve their existing skills, so basic knowledge and confidence using a sewing machine is essential. If you are a complete beginner please sign up to our Beginner Machine Sewing course first. Sewing machine hire and sewing kit included, although you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. A printed A0 pattern and sewing instructions are included in the cost of the course and you will be required to bring your own fabric. After booking you will be emailed further details on fabric options and requirements but if you have any questions beforehand please email hello@creativespacebristol.co.uk.
