Beginner Apparel: 100 Acts of Sewing Tunic or Dress ( Dress no. 2)



This is a great, size inclusive, and versatile pattern from "100 Acts of Sewing".  Their patterns are a wonderful way to get into the world of sewing clothing with non-stretch fabrics such as quilting cottons and linens.  This is a beginner pattern, but does require strait cutting and even seam allowances, so some experience on a machine is preferred.

Come have a fun Friday night... bring a friend...and feel free to bring drinks or order dinner next door :) 

If possible, please stop by the shop prior to class to pick up your personal pattern (included in the price) and choose fabrics.  If you purchase fabric at our shop, you get 20% off, but feel free to purchase elsewhere to bring in. Fabrics should be PRE-Washed if possible prior to cutting because cottons and linens will shrink!  

In this class, we will learn how to pick the correct size for your body, how to follow a pattern, inserting sleeves, bias facing and patch pockets!   You can choose whether to make a shorter tunic length shirt or a longer dress, as well as your sleeve length.  Fabric requirements are listed below.
