I have been busy teaching workshops as well as my usual City and Guilds class over the last few weeks. A couple of Saturdays ago I taught a 'Finishing Techniques' one day workshop at Alton Knitting and Woolcraft.
The workshop was held in the back room of the sewing shop next door. It was a bit of a tight squeeze teaching 10 students in a fairly small room but we all had a good day.
There was lots of discussion on the best way to complete garments and how to deal with problems when following a commercial pattern which doesn't explain how to use the techniques we covered e.g. short row shaping for shoulders rather than casting off. Everyone worksed hard and went away with a number of samples covering sewing up, necklines and short row shaping.
I ment to take photos of the workshop during the day but forgot right untill the end of the day, so here are a couple of pictures of the student just finishing at the end of the day.
