The Nervous Nellie Guide to Sewing Chiffon!

 

 

 

Three classes, Tuesdays July 26, August 2 and August 9, 7:00-8:30 PM Eastern Standard time.

 

This is a zoom class, recorded so the students can refer to it later!

 

I recently made a mother-of-the-groom outfit that required me to sew with chiffon.  As chiffon strikes terror in my heart, I needed to devise some techniques that would make it a little easier for me to sew.

 

In this class, we start with a pattern, included with the price of the class. This is the jacket pattern I drafted for the mother-of-the-groom outfit--it is three easy pieces, no darts, open down the front, with a bracelet-length sleeve. It is graded from size 4 to 20.

 

After a discussion of materials and tools, we dive in. I will show you how I prepare the pattern, and lay out and cut the fabric. From here, I you will learn my way to sew a neat French seam on the shoulders, how to sew a sleeve with a French seam, and how to make a narrow, neat roll hem to finish the edges of the sleeves and body.

 

When you're done, you will have a little easy-wearing jacket! And, I hope, you will be a little less intimidated by chiffon (as I am now)! 

 

Price: $135.00 with the pattern included. To sign up, just send your payment to me through Paypal, to my email address:
