About the Class
Join us for a fun and creative one-day workshop where you’ll transform an old tablecloth or other second hand textile into a stylish, fashionable top! This workshop is inspired by the viral trend seen on the Great British Sewing Bee, where participants rework vintage tablecloths into unique, wearable pieces. It’s a perfect opportunity to give new life to a forgotten item in your home and create something beautiful that you’ll want to wear again and again! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll guide you through the process of reworking a tablecloth into a beautiful top. From cutting and placing your pattern pieces to making sure you get the most out of your fabric, we’ll be there every step of the way. What You’ll Learn: Pattern Placement: How to make the most of your old tablecloth by carefully placing your pattern pieces for the best fit and design. Sewing Techniques: Learn key sewing skills, such as inserting darts, attaching facings, sewing in sleeves and finishing seams to make sure your new top looks professional. Construction Tips: Expert guidance to help you work through any tricky construction steps and finish your top with confidence. What You’ll Need to Bring: A tablecloth: Bring your own old or vintage tablecloth or other textile think bedsheets (the bigger, the better!). Choose one with a pattern or texture that speaks to you – we’ll help you make it work. If your tablecloth is small you may need two or another plain fabric to match. Sewing Pattern: Tilly and the Buttons Nell, Oh me Oh My Sadie blouse (as seen in the photos) would both work well. Plain Fabric (Optional): Depending on the size of your tablecloth, you may need to bring a matching plain fabric to complement it. As with all our sewing workshops and classes you may or may not finish your garment on the day but you'll be armed with the tools to finish at home. Everyone sews at different speeds and that's totally ok! Skill level: Stitch Starter (Beginner) Our studio is fully kitted out with modern Janome sewing machines and overlockers for you to use.

To cancel your place, please email us at readysteadysew@hotmail.com as soon as possible. All cancellations must be received in writing via email. Refunds will be processed the same day that you request it. However, please note that the processing time is dependent on Wix Payments (our payment provider) and your bank. We have no control over how long it takes for the funds to appear in your account, but it can take up to 20 business days in total, depending on your bank's processing times. No Refunds for Partially Attended Courses There will be no refunds for partially attended courses. If you decide that the course is not for you after attending part of it, you will not be eligible for a refund. We encourage you to make sure the course is right for you before booking. Transfers to Future Classes If you need to transfer to a future class, you must notify us at least 14 working days before the class start date. Unfortunately, we cannot accept transfer requests within 14 days of the class start date. We are unable to transfer bookings after this time frame as it's not long enough for us to refill your spot, and it takes a spot away from a future student. As a small business, we rely on full classes to remain sustainable, and offering transfers to everyone who requests them would result in under-booked classes. We encourage you to ensure you're available for the dates of the course you book. Once a spot is reserved, it is committed to you, and we cannot accommodate changes to future sessions regardless of the reason.
