Wiksten Shift with Erica
April 24, 2020 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
April 24 and May 1, 1:30 to 4:30 pm | $70 | Advanced beginner sewing skills | Registration required
Have you wanted to dabble in making your own clothes but have felt intimidated by the process? In just two classes we will make the Wiksten Haori Jacket from start to finish. Fully lined, this jacket is fabulous and looks great on just about everybody. With large pockets and a fold-over collar, this oversized jacket is functional, comfortable, and stylish. The design includes three different lengths to choose from: short (hip length), mid (below-hip length), and long (thigh length).
In Class 1 we will cover the bases from measuring for fit, using a sewing pattern and cutting the fabric pieces. In class 2 we will be sewing your new top or dress (the choice is yours).
Space is very limited for this class so register early!
Some previous sewing skills are needed for this project but by no means are advanced skills needed!
