Sew your own easy, breezy summer dress! We will choose our size, learn basic length and fit adjustments, as well as construction skills for bust darts, pockets, hems, and fusible interfacing. Students should be comfortable setting up their machine, maintaining a seam allowance, and have familiarity with sewing terms. We will cut our patterns and fabric in class. If you are using a PDF pattern, please come with your pattern pieces assembled.

Instructor: Erin West

You may want to bring your own basic sewing kit (fabric shears, clear ruler, tape measure, straight pins, seam gauge, seam ripper) but we do have shared tools available for use in the classroom.
