The Mildred Jumpsuit: Tuesday April 14th, 10-4pm

Another firm favourite at Betty’s. The Mildred Jumpsuit by StyleArc is one of those patterns that just works — easy to sew, flattering to wear, and endlessly versatile. We’ve made it again and again in all sorts of fabrics, and it never disappoints.

It’s simple to put together, suits a wide range of body shapes, and can be worn layered over T-shirts or jumpers, or on its own in warmer weather. It was a real winner last summer and is just as good year-round.

This workshop is ideal for confident beginners and improvers who want a satisfying garment with lots of wearability.

What you’ll do:

• Construct the Mildred jumpsuit step by step
• Learn straightforward garment assembly techniques
• Focus on fit, finishing, and confident construction

Fabric choices

Choose from our range of:

• Denims
• Linens
• Heavier-weight fabrics
• Merchant & Mills linens, which work particularly well for this pattern

You’ll be able to discuss fabric choices in advance and choose something that suits how you want to wear your jumpsuit.

What’s included

• Use of sewing machines
• Full guidance and support throughout the day
• A relaxed, friendly sewing environment

A reliable, well-loved pattern that’s a pleasure to sew and a joy to wear — once you’ve made one Mildred, you’ll probably want another
