Online workshop – Learn to sew with oilcloth

4th March 2021 By Lorna

Online workshop - Learn to sew with oilcloth

Date/Time
Date - 04/03/2021
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm


Duration – 2 hours

This workshop is suitable for those who have used a sewing machine before and can confidently thread the machine and bobbin. If you need a beginners class or a refresher then have a look at beginners classes available.

**This workshop will be delivered virtually via the online video conferencing platform, Zoom. If you don’t already have a Zoom account, it is easy to set one up for free (basic package) via their website. On the day of the workshop I would email you the workshop joining instructions. Zoom allows 2 way communication between all participants and myself, allowing questions, feedback, demonstrations and conversation! It’s good fun and a great way to socialise with other people whilst sewing, during this period of lockdown.**

Learn to sew with oilcloth

Come and learn the essential skills of sewing with oilcloth and make a fantastic zipped pouch.

Choose to make either of these fabulous pouch designs.

Oblong boxy pouch

Triangular boxy pouch

You will learn:

  • Tools to cut out oilcloth accurately
  • Top tips for how to sew with oilcloth
  • Changing feet on the machine and use of the zipper foot
  • How to insert a zip into oilcloth
  • Top stitching
  • Sewing gusset corners if sewing the ‘boxy’ pouches

 

Equipment and Materials:

  • All materials included including oilcloth and zip
  • Pieces of oilcloth to practise on
  • Photographic handout of the skills learnt in the workshop will be sent via email after the class.

You will need:

  • Masking tape (small amount) – like the tape you use in decorating – smooth, not shiny
  • Optional – Rotary cutter/self healing mat/quilting ruler. (the fabric will arrive cut and ready to sew. These tools will be  useful if you continue to sew with oilcloth but not essential for the class)

Cost £22

 

Once the supplies have been posted out, there will not be an option for a refund on the class.

For examples of previous workshop sewists’ projects, please see the gallery page here and look for Oilcloth zipped pouches.

 

Lorna says:

“I’ve had several people ask me about sewing with oilcloth and how to do it. Once you learn some top tips about sewing with it, you can make a whole variety of projects with it – aprons, tote bags, placemats, peg bags. It’s a great fabric to use as it can be wiped clean. Come along and gain some confidence sewing with this versatile fabric!”

 

Decision time

Please let me know:

  1. Type of pouch you would like to make from the 2 examples above (oblong boxy or triangular boxy shape)
  2. Your first choice and second choice fabrics from the selection below

I cannot guarantee that choice will be available but I do have quite a bit of each fabric. Once you have chosen please email me at allaboutthesew@gmail.com. The zip will be white.

If you would like to use your own oil cloth, that is of course fine. I can still send you a zip.

You will also need some masking tape for the class (only a small amount).

Mustard/cream spots

Red/white stars

Pink/white spots

Green/pink flowers
