'I spent a lovely Saturday in Harriet’s studio making her Hannah shirt.
Honestly I can’t recommend this workshop enough,
Harriet is so patient and really helps you but also lets you get on with it and make your own mistakes (believe me I made many!).
I’m absolutely delighted with my finished shirt and can’t wait to wear it.
Thanks Harriet xx'

Be part of a small class with step by step guidance from Harriet in her studio.
You will be guided through the process of altering the pattern of one of Harriet’s summer shirts to your design and to fit you perfectly. Once your fabric is cut out, you will craft your shirt on either an industrial or domestic sewing machine with close guidance and top tips.
This workshop is for experienced sewers, beginners and any stage in between. Being part of a small group of just two, you will receive close guidance and support every step of the way.
All you will need to bring is 1.5m of fabric; either a much loved fabric you’ve been waiting to use or a new fabric that you’ve fallen in love with.
Everything else will be provided.
Lunch is included which will be provided at Depot Bakery, over the road from the studio.
Enjoy your choice of delicious sourdough toasties, home cooked soups and hot drinks
up to the price of £12
£45 deposit is required upon booking to secure your space on the workshop.
