Puff Sleeve Dress Sewing Workshop (5/5) @ Observable Universe (5 weeks)

  • 2200 Dominion Street Durham, NC, 27704 United States (map)

Sew River’s current favorite uniform! I’ve made this McCall’s #7969 at least 5 times, in dresses and tops- it’s a great design that fits the body loosely and comfortably. Great with lots of fabrics- I recommend quilt weight cottons, linen, rayon- woven fabrics preferred.
McCall’s Pattern included in class fee.

All levels welcome- Beginner friendly. Great for someone new to sewing- we’ll go over techniques like gathering, bias tape finish and hemming.

Schedule time to sew and be inspired by other local creatives.

You bring: Your sewing machine (or rent one), fabric scissors, pins, Washed fabric ready to be cut out!

6:30-8:30pm, Wednesdays, Aug. 30th, Sept. 6, 13, 27, Oct. 4; (no class Sept. 20th)
