ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
The Merchant & Mills Audrey is a simple, cozy hooded scarf, made with a contrast or self lining. Make it in midweight wool, double gauze, light to midweight corduroy or quilted jacquard. Line it with cotton voile, lightweight linen, cotton poplin, lightweight wool, or a soft brushed cotton. Merchant & Mills rates it beginner. This two-hour Zoom sewing workshop focuses on construction: shaping a hood from panels, finishing curves, understitching, and bagging out a lined piece.
WHAT YOU’LL MAKE
A fully lined hooded scarf in a cozy main fabric with a contrast or self lining.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Reading and working from a garment pattern
- Joining curved panels to shape a hood, the basis of hoods and shaped seams on garments
- Trimming, clipping and notching curves so they turn out smooth, a step in every collar and facing
- Understitching: what keeps facings and linings rolled to the inside on any garment
- Bagging out a lined piece, the method behind lined vests, jackets and bags
- Closing a turning gap neatly by machine or slipstitch
WHAT YOU’LL GET
- 2 hours of live online sewing instruction across one 2-hour session
- Multi-camera demos - top-down, machine-level, and table view, so you see exactly what’s happening at every step
- Video replay access to every session, with detailed written notes for each one
- A dedicated online workshop space for sharing progress, asking questions, and connecting with fellow students
- Lifetime access to all Audrey Hood replays, notes, and resources
