Do you want to design a dress that is custom fitted to you? This class is for you! This class will cover drafting an elastic waist dress with built in sleeves. You will be able to choose from a few neckline and skirt options.

In this class you will learn how to draft a basic dress in only four hours! No prior experience in drafting is required, but it is recommended that you are a confident sewist able to easily follow a commercial pattern.

You will learn how to take your measurements and translate them into drafting a bodice and skirt. Then we will look at recommended fabrics to make this dress out of. You will leave this class with a pattern, instructions for assembly, and fabric recommendations that you can use to sew up your dress.

Printed worksheets for your future reference will be provided!

Supplies: You will need to bring your own drafting materials. If you don't have these supplies, they are available for purchase at the shop, and there are some available for classroom use as well. These are the supplies: measuring tape, pattern paper, rulers (straight ruler, french curve/hip curve/shoulder curve), paper scissors, and a pencil.

Time: June 20th from 10am-2pm. Feel free to bring something to drink and/or a non-messy snack!
