I've been sewing all my life but had recently lost confidence after a number of failed projects. Angela, our fabulously knowledgeable tutor, taught us how to adjust a pattern for a made-to-measure fit and how to handle and respect different types of fabrics. I learned so much and left with a finished garment I was delighted with. I'll certainly be looking out for more courses run by Make!\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Make Fabric Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Sun 4th October 10.15am - 5pm","offer_id":58340275028352,"sku":"WS100354","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/0521\/files\/Page-New-16.jpg?v=1782556582","url":"https:\/\/www.makefabricboutique.co.uk\/products\/jersey-sewing-workshop-make-your-own-hoodie-or-sweater","provider":"Make Fabric Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
