About this Event
This 3.5hrs workshop focuses on the design and making of a garment.
This is ideal for beginners and proficient sewing levels.
You will learn how to make a pattern using measurements and sew a multiway garment in jersey fabric.
This can be sewn by hand or with a sewing machine.
Why wrap pants?
This design can be worn as pants, but also as a jumpsuit, dress or cape. The options to wear are endless and make it a great beginner's sewing design.
