Beyond Basics Dressmaking Class



Have you ever made a garment that does not quite fit? In this class we'll be using muslin to teach you how to adjust the dress pattern for your measurements. When we are done you should have a modified pattern to be able to create a dress that is made especially for you.

This is not a beginner's class. You should already be able to follow a garment pattern.

Supply List: Here
Pattern is NOT available at Sunshine Quilt Corner.  Please purchase prior to the class.

Please note: Sewing patterns are not sized the same as ready to wear garments. When you buy your pattern, use the back of the pattern envelope to match the size with your bust measurement or use the below link for the Simplicity Sizing Chart.
