Intro to Sewing Tops/Dress
- Duration: 3 Hours
- Location: Sydney, NSW
Take your sewing to the next level in this full-day workshop focused on garment construction.
This is an engaging, hands-on session that builds your skills in cutting, shaping and assembling a garment. As always, your instructor will guide you through the steps.
This class is designed for advanced beginners who have already completed at least one garment.
A Note on Timing:
This is a full-day class, and while it’s fun and rewarding, it’s also a big day of sewing! Most people will finish either the peplum top or the midi dress by the end of the session. If you’d like to make the full-length maxi version, the third tier will need to be cut and completed at home.
Project: A sleeveless peplum top, midi dress, or maxi dress - your choice!
