Dress In A Weekend
A perfect sewing project for someone with only a little experience of clothes making so far!
A perfect sewing project for someone with only a little experience of clothes making so far. You’ll make ‘The Sheath Dress’ by The Avid Seamstress, a gorgeous simple dress pattern (take your pattern home with you) that you will want to make again and again in lots of fabrics. The class will be taught by Lisa Falconer - creator of the Avid Seamstress range The Sheath Dress has a flattering round neckline, optional elasticated waist, optional side pockets and invisible zip at the back. The entire front of this dress is cut as one piece which includes the sleeves. The back is two pieces making the construction of the dress so easy! The neckline is finished with a facing. Lisa will take you through the construction of this dress and show you a few methods of applying the elastic casing to fit your desired fit. Together with your new preparation skills and using Lisa’s sewing techniques your dress will be a work of art. Your fabric choice will have an impact on the style of this dress, a light fabric will make it a beautiful Spring, Summer dress and a thicker fabric will make this the perfect work or evening dress. A lovely weekend sewing in a fun, relaxed atmosphere with new sewing friends! Price: £140 Session: 2 day Course Course Options: Course Options:
