Learn how to make our Celeste pattern over two days in the Merchant & Mills Studio with the help of 2 teachers.

The Celeste is a feminine blouse with back buttons and gentle gathers into a waistband. 

The Celeste is perfect in lightweight fabrics like cotton lawn or voile, cotton poplins, Tencel, Indian handlooms, and double gauze. The pattern is available is sizes UK 6 – 28.

This class is ideal if you have completed a few beginner patterns or if you have some intermediate sewing experience.

We will cover the following:

  • Learning the art of pairing fabric and pattern.
  • How to follow a paper pattern, learning about the pattern markings and what they mean.
  • Following a lay plan and cutting out your fabric correctly.
  • Measuring yourself and selecting the correct size.
  • Understanding dressmaking terminology.
  • Suitable seam finishes for different fabrics.
  • Buttonholes.
  • Pattern matching for more of a challenging make.

  • The Celeste pattern.
  • 10% off all purchases in the shop.
  • Plentiful supply of tea/coffee and cake.
  • All relevant Merchant & Mills tools and notions.

Please note:

  • We can pre launder your chosen cloth ahead of the class so it is ready to start cutting. 
  • The studio day is from 10am till 5pm.
The Studio:

The studio is on the mezzanine above the shop, so we have all fabric and notions on hand. You will be using an array of Merchant & Mills tools. We have Bernina sewing machines and two overlockers. Everything you'll need is here, there's no need to bring your own kit!

Each student has ample space in which to cut out and work in, with plentiful natural light.

Accessibility:

Our studio is currently only available via stairs. We are always thinking of ways in which we can improve accessibility for the future.

Dogs and service dogs:

As a dog friendly workplace, please be aware that we have a few well-behaved dogs on site most days.

We cannot accommodate dogs on the retreats or classes however, registered service dogs are welcome, please let us know at the time of booking if you will be bringing your service dog.
