Hinterland Dress Class (Intermediate - Sewing)

Have you made a few simple garments and want to try something a little more challenging?  The Hinterland Dress offers a timeless, comfortable, and elegant silhouette. Featuring three sleeve options, either partial or full button down plackets, customizable length, and inseam pockets, this is a pattern workhorse that spans the seasons. The fit is loose yet shapely, with side bust darts and a gathered skirt with optional waist ties, and is easily modified for maternity and nursing. This class is ideal for someone who has made a few garments, and would like to expand their sewing knowledge.

This is a three session class.  Please make sure you can attend all sessions.
