3rd June - "Make a Thong" workshop
Join us on the 3rd of June for our second ever thong sewing workshop!
At Cloudy and Belle we would love to teach you to sew your own lingerie. Join us and gain the knowledge and skill to be able to sew your own underwear. By teaching you how to make a thong, you will leave with the confidence to purchase any underwear pattern and sew it at home. The skills you learn at our workshop will be transferrable to other forms of lingerie as well as the making of sexy little kinis.
The day will be broken down into two parts:
Part 1 will be spent on getting to know your sewing machine, learning about working with stretch fabrics, and learning about the use of different types of elastic. We will teach you how to use picot elastic, fold over elastic and woven elastics to achieve different finishes when you sew lingerie, as well as the quartering technique to achieve even gathers. You will leave with a sample of each these techniques, made by yourself, which you will be able to refer to when you sew lingerie at home.
Part 2 will be spent making our thongs. Annabelle and I will guide you through pinning your pattern to your fabric, cutting it out, and we will take you step by step through how to sew it together for a professional finish. We will aim for you to leave with a finished thong in your size, which you will be able to wear.
Your materials pack will consist of the following:
Jersey fabric to make your portfolio samples
Elastic to make your samples
Your thong sewing pattern
Mesh fabric to make your thong out of
Elastic to make your thong out of
A little bow to attach at the end
Gusset fabric
