I’m looking for 6–8 confident beginner sewists to join a free weekend workshop to test a new zero-waste wrap dress pattern.

I’m currently part of the Neudeli Fellowship at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, where I’m developing a series of zero-waste sewing patterns to sell and teach with. My aim is to explore practical ways of reducing textile waste while empowering people to learn how to make their own clothes.

This workshop is part of that research and design process. Participants will receive the full pattern and written instructions and will help refine the final version through hands-on sewing and structured feedback.

???? Date: 18th and 19th April 2026 10am-1pm
????Location: Studio Wägetechnik e.V. , Fuldaer Str. 150, Weimar
???? Language: English
????Cost: Free (in exchange for feedback)

How to register
Places are limited so please register via the survey link  by April 12th outlining your sewing experience and whether you can bring your own machine and fabric. Selected participants will receive confirmation and preparation details.

Can’t make the workshop? No problem! I’m also looking for a small group of pattern testers. Register here  if you’re interested! ✂

Looking forward to sewing, testing, and learning together! ????
