Sew Chic, Be Unique: Master the Breton Style!

Discover the art of crafting timeless elegance with The Make Spot's Breton Style Top workshop. Taking place in our custom studio in Portskewett between 10:00 to 16:30, immerse yourself in a day of creativity and style.

This versatile top is more than just a wardrobe staple - it's a canvas for your personal flair. Learn to stitch stretch fabric with confidence, master the art of matching stripes, and explore pocket placement and stretch binding techniques. With sizes ranging from 6 to 24 and options for short, 3/4, or long sleeves, the styling possibilities are endless.

No need to worry about basic materials or sewing equipment - we've got you covered. Your session fee includes the pattern (normally £15.50 rrp), threads, machine usage, and even refreshments. Simply bring your preferred fabric and a packed lunch, and we'll take care of the rest. Not sure what fabric to choose? Ponte di roma, double knit, jersey, t-shirt material or interlock are all perfect options, stripes are optional! We have some beautiful classic Breton blue and white stripe fabric available to buy if you don't want to source your own.

Located in our brand-new studio in Portskewett, our workshop promises a comfortable and inspiring environment to hone your skills. And as a bonus, enjoy 10% off all full-price fabrics in-store during your course.
