Choose your own project for this class. Maybe you’re hesitant to work with specialty fabrics. Do silks make you nervous? Need expert advice on how to handle a particular fabric or design? Want help with fitting and pattern adjustments? This class is also the perfect time to finish your French jacket. Join me for 6 days of couture sewing and take your skills to the next level.
The class will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel, Palm Beach Gardens, FL. We will have a spacious room with plenty of natural light, large cutting tables as well as professional pressing equipment. Bring your own sewing machine and personal tools. I will set up a phone call with you several weeks prior to class to discuss your planned project.
Out of consideration for your fellow classmates and instructor, you must be vaccinated for COVID to attend. We will be working in the same space and everyone will be more comfortable if mask wearing is optional.
