Supply List:
- 3-4 yards Cotton or Linen Fabric
- 1 to 2 yards of 1.5” wide Elastic
- 1 spool of Mettler Metrosene All-Purpose Polyester Thread
- 1/4" yard of Light Weight Shape Flex fusible interfacing
*Make sure to pre-wash your fabric in advance of class. This prevents possible fabric shrinkage that could otherwise make your finished garment too small.
*Skill Level: Advanced Beginner - You have a good handle on the basics and are ready to dip your toe into more challenging waters. You’re still fairly new to sewing from patterns and could use help with how to manipulate the pattern to get a better fit. You want to add some new skills to your repertoire (invisible zippers, setting-in sleeves, sewing with a serger, etc.). Classes generally require homework.
