Take your sewing skills to the next level with a project you can complete in this five-hour workshop!
About this Event

In this 5-hour workshop, you'll make one of two projects:

  • Easy Yoga Wrap Pants, with slit sides that allow for a breeze while still giving plenty of coverage, great for practicing yoga comfortably and fashionably.
  • Jiffy Wrap Blouse, a great piece of vintage fashion with a very clever and simple concept.

Both are made in one piece with a simple tie-on for flexible fitting, and based on a couple of basic measurements. They can be made with cotton, or for a little more of a challenge, with a rayon-blend or knit fabric.

You will learn:

  • How to read a pattern and pattern instructions,
  • Choosing and preparing fabric,
  • Learning about fabric grainline and pattern layout,
  • Cutting out the pattern,
  • Review of stitches, seams, seam allowances and seam finishes.

Basic familiarity with use of a sewing machine is required, such as what you can learn in our Intro to Sewing class. Details of what to bring to class will be provided after you sign up.
