Learn to Sew a Pullover jumper
Take your sewing skills to the next level with this stylish, detail-rich project.
Join us for a full-day, hands-on workshop where you'll learn to make the Julia Sweater by Atelier Jupe — a chic and contemporary piece that’s as fun to sew as it is to wear. Designed for intermediate dressmakers, this 7-hour class is perfect if you’re looking to challenge yourself with professional finishes and thoughtful design details.
Date options:
Sunday 16th November 2025 9.30am-5.00pm
Sunday 1st February 2026 9.30am-5.00pm
The front of Julia is cut vertically and horizontally for a playful effect, which also makes it a perfect pattern for colour blocking. The pockets are incorporated in the horizontal seam. The sweater has slight drop-off shoulders, long sleeves and a stand-up collar. The contrasting button placket with snaps gives Julia that extra touch. Both the sleeves and sweater are finished at the bottom by an elasticated hem.
Create an on trend, practical and stylish sweater you’ll be proud to wear — and new skills to use again and again.
Spaces are limited — reserve your spot and sew something special!

Claire Heath
Sewing has always been a huge part of Claire's life. As a child she was always making, crafting and fixing things. Her love of fabric and making drove her to study Textiles and Fashion Design at Leeds University. After graduating and gaining some invaluable experience in the fashion and textiles industry Claire realised her true passion was sharing her skills and knowledge of garment construction with others.
Claire has been teaching design as a qualified lecturer for well over a decade. She joined the g&g team shortly after the shop opened in 2013 as a workshop tutor. During her time with us she has taught countless workshops and has loved helping customers learn how to sew and create wearable garments that will become staples of their me-made wardrobe.
