The Hinterland is your new favorite dress! This classic style can be customized for every style and season. We'll cover sewing bust darts, pockets, gathered skirts, set-in sleeves, bias binding, and button plackets. Students should have some experience sewing garments from a pattern. Those with less experience should choose a crisp cotton print or woven. More adventurous students can try a linen or rayon with more drape.
