Fringe Dress Class (Intermediate - Sewing)
Have you made a few garments and want to try something a little more challenging? The Fringe pattern is a woven dress and blouse with two views. View A has a button up front, elbow sleeve and sleeve tab. View B has a pull over, notched front with a cuff. Both views include two cup sizes, optional waist ties, and the sleeve/cuffs are interchangeable. This class is ideal for someone who has made a few garments, and would like to expand their sewing knowledge.
This is a four session class. Please make sure you can attend all sessions.
