Beginners Sewing Class



Blackbird Attic, the Coffee Shoppe and local designer Allyson Vermeulen are excited to announce a very affordable opportunity to enhance your sewing abilities.

We will be sewing a wrap dress, following Collette Patterns Crepe Dress pattern. If you know how to sew but have never followed a pattern before, this is a great place to start! You will learn basic principles of garment construction, interfacing and finishing techniques.

Students will come to class with pattern pieces already cut from their fabric of choice. (The instructor will be available during studio hours or by appointment in the 2 weeks prior to class to assist and answer questions for this part of the process) There is an alternate pattern available for men (Collette Negroni Short Sleeve Button-Down)

Basic sewing knowledge and a portable sewing machine are required.
