MAC Sewing School: A Coat-Day 1

Today marked the first day of my MAC Sewing School-A coat workshop. MAC and I recommended the Burda pattern 6727 as featured on my instagram page a few days ago for this course, but students can bring a different coat pattern if they prefer another style.

The sewing school classes are a brand new series of courses at MAC Birmingham focusing on boosting sewing and commercial pattern knowledge through a number of set classes. This is the first one, focusing on a coat. There will be other courses in the new year looking at commercial patterns for a skirt and trouser.

This workshop is split into 2 sessions over 2 consecutive weekends. Day 1 saw us focus on finding the right pattern, making any adjustments and cutting the fabric. Some of the fabrics selected for the coats were amazing! take a look below what we got up to.

See you all for day 2 next week!
