Sewing workshop: Japanese Cross Back Apron at Chatsworth

Friday 17 July 2026

10am - 4pm

The Old Potting Shed, Chatsworth Garden

Improve your dressmaking skills by joining Chatsworth Textile Technician Amy Secker in our garden learning centre to create a Japanese cross-back apron - perfect for your gardening, cooking, and hobbies.

This hands-on activity is ideal for those with a little sewing experience but who perhaps need guidance and support before tackling a project, as well as competent sewers who want something lovely to take home, and the opportunity to meet like-minded creatives.

What you will learn:  

• Cutting from a pattern
• Applying interfacing
• Accurate seams
• Patch pockets
• Inserting a lining (optional)
