Have you made a few simple garments and want to try something a little more challenging? The Bianca Dress by Jalie Patterns is a great shift dress that is very versitile. Dress it up or dress it down and it can go anywhere. This class is ideal for someone who has made a few garments, and would like to expand their sewing knowledge.
