Headbands & Couture Bows
SATURDAY 7TH NOVEMBER,
10 AM - 3 PM
SUGNALL, STAFFORDSHIRE
Learn how to create a padded headband and a beautiful Valentino-inspired bow incorporating secret tricks of the trade.
Spend a day in my studio opposite Sugnall Walled Garden, surrounded by beautiful fabrics and haberdashery, pretty trimmings, inspirational mood boards, and jars of vintage beads and sparkles.
Embellish your bow and trim with vintage beads, sequins and crystals, and perhaps feather and millinery net too!
You’ll learn:
How to choose suitable fabric and interfacing for making a bow
How to choose a headband that fits
How to add padding to a headband
How to create a Valentino bow, using hand stitching and couture techniques.
Beading and simple millinery techniques.
You’ll leave at the end of the workshop with a beautiful headband and bow, and a folder of notes and samples to remind you so that you can continue on your millinery journey.
All materials and haberdashery are included. Sewing tools are provided, but if you have a favourite pair of scissors bring them with you.
Skill Level: Only basic craft skills are required.
Tutor: Sarah Shortt
Venue:The workshop is held in my studio, which is in an attic on the first floor overlooking Sugnall Walled Garden, a light-filled space where you’ll be surrounded by fabrics, laces, trimmings and haberdashery.
Tea or coffee and delicious homemade cakes are included. Please bring a packed lunch with you.
