Description
This class is open to minors 13 and up - all minors must be accompanied by an adult!
Two pieces of fabric come together like magic for an impressive result!
In this class, beginners and beyond will learn how to work with stretch fabric and explore the foundations of garment construction while sewing a simple dress that you’ll be proud to wear regularly.
We’ll begin with sewing machine safety and hands-on practice with test fabric. Then we’ll walk through the dress instructions together. For an added optional challenge, you can sew on pockets!
What makes this class unique is the way it’s taught. While your instructor goes around providing one-on-one support, you can refer to a printed guide and a video tutorial. We will make the most of our time learning, sewing and having fun.
You’ll walk away with a finished dress and a lot of handy new sewing skills!
Supplies:
Everything is provided.
You don’t have to bring anything though you are more than welcome to if you can! We have five sewing machines and one serger amongst participants. If you have an extra serger or a sewing machine, please bring it—you’ll be able to work at your own pace and get comfortable with your own equipment.
We will provide the fabric, but you’re encouraged to bring your own if you’d like to work with something you personally love. The fabric must be stretchy and you won’t need more than three yards.
