Join us to make a super cute Saltwater Slip Dress from Friday Pattern Co!
The Saltwater Slip is a simple slip dress with adjustable straps that can be layered or worn on its own. Choose between two length options: above the knee, and tea length (with side slits). You can also add on optional side ties to add a bit of waist shaping! Wear this slip over a tee shirt, under a sheer dress, or on its own! The pattern comes in sizes XS-7X and includes multiple cup size options (B/C and C/D). This is a pullover dress with no closures. After you sew your first dress in class, you'll want to make this easy-to-sew slip again and again!
In this two-part workshop, you'll gain an understanding of sewing from a purchased pattern, AND you'll sew a super-cute dress, custom made to fit your body. You'll leave this class with the skills and confidence to tackle more garment sewing on your own.
You'll learn how to:
- Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit
- Work from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from tissue paper pattern pieces, and more
- Understand garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and trouble shooting
- Become familiar with sewing jargon commonly found in commercial patterns
- Cut fabric and assemble a garment the right way
- Make bias tape for a neckline
- Create adjustable straps
- Sew and attach side ties
This is a two-part intensive workshop being held on the following dates:
- Tuesday 7/22 at 6:30pm-9:30pm and Tuesday 7/29 at 6:30pm-9:30pm (students must be available to attend both dates)
OR
- Sunday 8/10 at 3:30pm-6:30pm and Sunday 8/17 at 4pm-7pm
This is a beginner garment sewing workshop; you do not need to have any experience sewing clothing, but you must have basic machine-sewing skills.
