About the pattern The pattern we will be using for this course is the ‘Ashton Top’ by indie designer Helen’s Closet. This top is an ideal first sewing project as it covers sewing techniques such as darts, French seams and bias binding/facing. Size range for the pattern is US 0-30 (equivalent to a UK 4-34). If you’re not sure that this pattern is for you then get in touch and we can let you know about future workshops using different designs. Drop us a line if you have any questions - aboutclothproject@gmail.com. About the Tutor Amy’s background is in community engagement, working on projects across London in schools, gardens, parks and historic houses. It’s no exaggeration to say that her life was changed back in 2020 when a friend taught her how to sew a simple top - a whole new world of creative fun opened up! From then on she’s been making her own clothes and dreaming up textiles projects to share with others. There’s nothing Amy enjoys more than helping others to start their own sewing journey. It’s her belief that everyone just needs that one friend to sit with them, teach them the basics and then they’ll be off!
