Lullabee Fabrics, Leicester - zip front dress (1/2)

Join our 2-day sewing workshop where you can create this fabulously famous zip-front autumn dress.

Designed with a wide pointed collar, front bodice patch pockets, skirt front pockets, and gathers at the shoulders and skirt.

The class caters to both confident beginners and those with more sewing experience who wish to socialise while stitching. Attendees will not only leave with a stylish finished piece but also gain a wealth of new sewing skills to enhance their making skills.
