Join us in the studio for a focused dressmaking workshop where you’ll create the Este Shirt by Atelier Jupe ,a stylish, modern shirt with clean lines and beautifully considered details. In this class we will be making the short sleeve version, making it a lovely project for warmer weather and a great introduction to shirtmaking techniques.
This workshop is ideal for confident beginners and intermediate sewists who are ready to expand their garment-making skills and try some classic shirt construction in a friendly, supportive environment.
During the class, we’ll guide you step by step through the process of sewing the Este Shirt, covering key techniques such as constructing a collar , sewing a neat button placket, attaching sleeves, and finishing your shirt for a professional result. Along the way you’ll learn helpful tips and methods that can be applied to many future dressmaking projects.
The Este Shirt has a relaxed, wearable shape that works beautifully in a wide variety of fabrics, making it a versatile piece you’ll reach for again and again in your handmade wardrobe.
By the end of the workshop you’ll leave with your own handmade short-sleeve Este Shirt, along with the confidence and skills to take on more shirtmaking projects in the future.
As always at The Makers Studio, the atmosphere is relaxed and sociable , plenty of time to sew, learn new techniques, and enjoy making alongside other lovely creatives.
