Summer is the perfect time for a fresh wardrobe, and nothing looks better on you than clothes you have made with your own hands. In this sewing class, instructor Anastasia will guide you step by step through creating a collection of stylish summer garments from scratch.
Each class session begins with drafting and cutting a pattern in your size, ranging from XS through 6X, in both paper and fabric. From there, you will learn the techniques specific to each garment and build it from the ground up. New fabrics are introduced each week, keeping the experience fresh and creatively exciting throughout.
Prerequisite: Sewing 101 or equivalent prior sewing experience.
Garments you will make in this class:
- A stylish summer dress
- Sports bralette
- Bike shorts with a phone pocket
- High-waisted shorts
- A versatile summer top
- A lightweight jacket
Along the way, you will learn an impressive range of construction skills: setting grommets, working with sturdy knit fabrics and elastics, shaping with darts, adding waistbands, installing zippers, creating different types of pockets, using a coverstitch machine, and adding linings to your garments.
All patterns, fabrics, and materials are included in the class. You are welcome to bring your own fabric, thread, or sewing machine if you prefer, but nothing extra is required. Simply arrive, sew, and walk home wearing your newest creation, along with your paper patterns to reuse whenever you are ready.
