Dressmaking

Overview

Discover the joy of dressmaking on a Stitchtopia holiday designed for stitchers who love hands-on learning. Offering the perfect blend of creativity and relaxation, you'll build skills, gain confidence and create a garment to be proud of. 

Led by an experienced dressmaker, each retreat focuses on a different project, with expert tuition tailored to small groups. You’ll work at your own pace, learning techniques that elevate your sewing – from garment construction to beautiful finishing details. With machines provided and guidance throughout, it’s all about making time for your craft and enjoying every stitch. 

Return home refreshed, inspired, and ready to wear what you've made – because nothing beats handmade!
