Sewing with Shelby! Make a Mermaid Shirt!

This class is lead by the amazing Shelby. She went to school and earned a B.A. in Theatre Costume Design; and later went on to get her Patternmaking certification from a tailoring school. She has worked for Teatro Zinzanni of San Francisco, Walt Disney World Costume & Wardrobe, Topsy Turvy Design custom millinery (steampunk originator when that was THE thing), Dark Garden Corsetry, Period Corsets, and a bunch of other side hustle contract work doing belly dance, burlesque & clown costuming.
In this class you will learn to construct a pattern specific to your size and then assemble and sew the garment. You will walk away from class with a new mermaid skirt that fits you like a glove!
**PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED- CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED**
If you plan to bring your own material- make sure to bring at least 5 yards of lycra or spandex blend.
You can choose for Shelby to purchase the fabric for you when you register ($40 additional fee).

The 3 hour long class is $60 if you bring your own fabric or $100 ($40 additional for 5 yards of fabric) if you need fabric included.
