Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this sewing & textile class:

Join us to sew a Wilder Gown-- a loose, flowy, tiered dress that can be sewn up in a bunch of different ways! Perfect for drapey woven fabrics, the Wilder Gown can be made as a top or dress, long or short sleeved, with one skirt tier or two. The design is fairly modular so it is easy to customize to your vision!

In this confident-beginner, three-evening workshop, you'll learn to sew from a printed PDF pattern, AND you'll sew an amazing Wilder top or dress, custom made to fit your body. You'll leave this class with the skills and confidence to tackle more garment sewing on your own.

You'll learn how to:

  • Print and assemble a PDF pattern at home
  • Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit
  • Work from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from paper pattern pieces, and more
  • Understand garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and troubleshooting
  • Become familiar with sewing jargon commonly found in commercial patterns
  • How to sew tiers, raglan sleeves, and a neck tie.

This is a three-evening workshop being held on the following dates:

  • Thursday 7/23 at 6pm-7pm - The instructor will demo how to properly print and assemble the PDF pattern, plus how to cut the fabric. Students are to complete these steps at their own pace between the first and second session.
  • Saturday 7/25 at 4pm-6pm - Students will sew along with the instructor during this session.
  • Sunday 7/26 at 4pm-6pm - Students will sew along with the instructor during this session.
Skill Requirements
Please note this is not a learn-to-sew class. Students must have basic machine sewing knowledge and be comfortable using a sewing machine.

Materials + Tools Required

  • Wilder Pattern by Friday Pattern Co. -- Purchase the PDF here!
  • 1.5 - 5.5 yards (depending on size, dress version selected, and fabric width) light or medium weight woven fabric with a nice drape-- think linen, linen blends, chambray, rayon, tencel, lawn, etc! A drapey rayon would give the dress a more elegant, fancy look, while linen would work for a more structured, everyday look. See size chart above to determine yardage needed.
  • 1 spool of all-purpose sewing thread
  • Straight pins
  • Safety pins
  • Sewing machine -- please make sure your machine is in good working order before registering for this workshop :)
  • Iron and ironing board or mat
