Be guided from start to finish through every stage of making your own dress, including:

  • Sizing and Body Measurements
  • Understanding complex commercial patterns and their notations.

The pattern is included in the class but you will be required to bring your own fabric. If this is your first garment we recommend that you choose a plain, easy-to-sew fabric.

Booking a class at Ray Stitch entitles you to 10% off everything in-store and our team will be happy to help and advise on fabric choice and requirements for the pattern you choose. 

Please take a moment to read our cancellation policy before booking: Unfortunately our classes are non refundable. Due our small class sizes it is also very difficult to transfer your booking to a different date. If you cannot attend a class and are able to notify us at least two weeks before the class starts, it may be possible to fit you in on another date but this is not guaranteed so please give us as much notice as possible to increase your chances. In the event that we are forced to cancel a class, we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible and offer either a full refund or swap your booking to another suitable date.
