Sew your own comfortable dress - upcycling to wear and feel goodSewing and wearing self-made clothes made of new material is something very special in and of itself. It is even more exciting to sew a dress from second hand clothes, curtains, duvet covers or bathrobes, especially if these also have a special sentimental meaning.
If you can't sew yet, I'll teach you. If you don't have any fabrics yourself, I also offer a selection of various washed second hand fabrics that we can process.
The course includes
- the design and manufacture of your own pattern in katcouture style (see photo) for your dress
- The selection, quality control, and maximum use of existing substances / materials
- Cutting and ironing the pieces of fabric with the help of the pattern / template
- Basic techniques of sewing on the sewing machine and how it works
- Tips & tricks that can also be used for future sewing projects
Since everyone is very individual when it comes to the time required, the times are determined individually and calculated every hour (25, -). Classes take place in Au / Haidhausen.
Course suitable for everyone between 13 – 75 who has good motor skills and dexterity :)

MOLDING WITHOUT PRIOR PATTERN
This consists of forming directly on the body, using a simply squared and reinforced canvas, all the darts and assembly seams that require a perfect fit...neckline and armhole lines, etc.
This sort of basic pattern thus obtained on the body, is then transferred to paper and interpreted according to very precise technical rules. These technical rules, like those that are applied to mold the body, follow logically from the principles exposed for the outline of the theoretical basic pattern that we have just studied and its perfect adaptation to the body, which we are going to do.
