Sew Your Own Dressing Gown - Saturday 1st November 2025 (Jenny Stitches)

Saturday 1st November 2025 at Jenny Stitches, Barrow-in-Furness

Sew Your Own Dressing Gown

Join us on this day workshop, ran from Jenny Stitches, Barrow-in-Furness, and learn to sew your own Dressing Gown.  

Keep cosy this winter and sew your very own Dressing Gown, or why not make one as a Christmas gift? Either way by the end of this workshop you will be leaving with a luxurious dressing gown!

Choose between sewing two lengths; long and snuggly that hits mid-calf or how about an above knee one that is perfect to pack away and take with you on your holidays! 

Whilst a simple pattern, this workshop gives you the option for learning to handle those tricky slippery fabrics like silks and satins! Or if you're new to dressmaking, a great foundation to start your sewing journey!

Size range for the Dressing Gown are as follows;

Size 0 - 20 (Bust 31" - 46", Waist 24" - 39" and Hips 33" - 48")

or

Size 14 - 32 (Waist 42" - 60", Waist 35" - 53" and Hips 45" - 63")

Upon booking, please confirm which pattern size bracket you will require. The size 0-20 is drafted as standard sizing, where as the size 14 - 32 is drafted for a curvy figure.

You do need to have some sewing machine experience for this course, though not necessarily dressmaking!
