Intermediate Sewing I

We will take things a step further in this class by sewing a *classic sheath dress. I call it “a blueprint for understanding your pattern size and adjustments” for future projects. You will reinforce your experience with darts, zippers, along with learning how to set-in sleeves with the option of adding a lining. This classic sheath pattern is also ideal as a base for creating other patterns. Also included in this class, we will incorporate more advanced garment construction. Based on skill level, you will learn to sew a blouse or shirt using Butterick 6753 or Butterick 6846 first. Next, we move on to sew a jacket or basic pants. 

What you will learn: 

• Pattern adjustments 
• Collars 
• Setting sleeves 
• Buttonholes and buttons 
• Seam finishing Proper interfacing use 

PLEASE NOTE: This class is also a great refresher if you have been sewing for awhile but you haven’t set sleeves, need more experience with garment construction, would like to feel more comfortable following a pattern or understanding the directions. 

*During the first session if you’re making the sheath dress , shirt or blouse measurements will be taken, and the properly sized pattern will be available for purchase. Note : if you’ve completed the classic sheath dress the instructor will discuss with you what your next suitable project should be..
