Do you sew your own garments? Do you love to follow along with other makers on social media? Are you, like me, greatly inspired by all the patterns being designed and sewn by independent sewists all over the world? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then join me as we sew an indie garment pattern together!
Join me this month at the City Sewing Room as we sew the perfect floaty dress for summer; the Bardon Dress from Elbe Textiles. Some elements you will be learning as you sew are: darts, gathers, POCKETS!, and a bias bound neckline. This is a great building block pattern for your collection, and we will be talking about ways to change it up to make your garment personal to YOU.
The pattern was released through Peppermint Magazine, so it is a pay-what-you can pattern (which means it’s a freebie for those of us that need it!).
This is an advanced beginner level pattern, so to take this class you must understand how to use a sewing machine, have sewn at least one garment, and be able to read and follow a sewing pattern.
You are welcome to bring your own machine or use one at the city sewing room.
What to bring:
- fabric : light to medium weight wovens are perfect for this project
- pattern : Make sure to purchase and tape together your pattern before attending the event. (Trust me - you won’t regret getting it out of the way!) Get the pattern here.
