Take your sewing skills up a level with a class aimed at high intermediate sewers who want to work on fit and finishes.

Working with New Look 6341 you’ll learn how to:

• do full or small bust adjustments on princess seamed bodices to suit your individual curves
• sew princess seams that sit smoothly over your bust
• make minor pattern alterations, such as raising the waist, or lowering the neckline
• sew pockets that sit neatly and invisibly in the side seams
• sew an invisible zip
• set in sleeves (depending on the view you choose)
• work with facings to get the perfect finish
• sew curved necklines so they sit flat, and are perfectly symmetrical.

You’ll go away from the class with a custom fitted bodice block that you can pair to a range of different skirt styles for a whole wardrobe of looks.

Students should expect to do 1-2 hours of sewing a week outside of class.  Most students will finish their dress within the 5 weeks.

High Intermediate = Suitable for those with intermediate and higher sewing experience: students who are capable of following a pattern on their own, have taken at least three classes since Absolute Beginners, or have made 4 different garments independently outside of classes.

Cost: $165 (includes patterning tissue).

Materials: Students will need to provide the pattern, the fabric and thread for their dress and any notions called for in the pattern.  Recommendations will be provided when you register.

Teacher:  This class is taught by our awesome sewing expert Johanna Morris.
