Learn to Sew a Shirt – The Stylish, Confident Way

If you've ever fancied making a proper shirt (collar, cuffs, buttons and all!) but felt a bit nervous to start – this is the workshop for you.

Over two calm and focused days in our Cotswold studio, you’ll sew your own beautifully made shirt using one of our tried-and-tested Cloth Cutter patterns: Nova, Cesario, Frida or Eleanor. Each has its own personality, but they all have that magic balance of comfortable and classy – and they’re designed with real bodies in mind.

You’ll be guided through every step with expert tuition, whether you're a confident beginner ready for the next challenge, or someone looking to sharpen their shirt-making skills.

Choose Your Shirt Pattern:

• Nova Shirt – classic with a twist in the sleeves

• Cesario Shirt – a timeless classic with sharp lines and smart details

• Eleanor Shirt – soft gathers, gentle shaping and a hint of romance

• Frida Shirt - relaxed, boxy, contemporary – great for everyday wear

What You’ll Learn:

• How to sew a neat collar and stand

• How to set in sleeves and add cuffs

• Button plackets, hems and finishing techniques

• Pressing and construction order for a clean, professional finish

✔️ Two full days in our welcoming studio in the Cotswolds
✔️ Expert tuition in small groups
✔️ Use of sewing machines and equipment
✔️ Tea, coffee and very good biscuits
✔️ A calm, encouraging atmosphere where you’ll learn loads and feel proud of what you’ve made
