April 7th: Make a Boxy Tee/Tunic hosted by Katherine Ferrier
what
Make a Self-Drafted Boxy Tee/Drapey Tunic with Cal Patch
when
Friday, April 7 | 10am-5pm
details & registration
In this workshop, we’ll begin by drafting the basic pattern to your measurements, then cut + sew a quick muslin (fit sample) to check fit, and tweak the pattern if necessary. Next you’ll either continue by turning your sample into a *wearable muslin*, or cut a new one, perhaps adding extra seams or pockets. Beginner stitchers will keep it fairly simple, and those with more advanced skills can customize to their hearts’ content. Everyone will leave with a garment that reflects their personality and ideas to make endless variations!
Please have at least advanced-beginner sewing skills, with a few simple projects under your belt. You should be comfortable threading and troubleshooting your sewing machine without assistance.
$225 | Advanced-beginner sewing skills.
