Garment Lab: From Dream to Seam with Paige Plihal | February 20, 27, and March 5

Friday, February 20, 27, and March 5

2pm - 5pm

Level: Confident Beginner - Intermediate

In this three-week series, instructor Paige Plihal will help you take your projects from dream to reality. This lab-style workshop is less structured than our other offerings, and is intended to be led by you with an expert coach at your side. Simply bring your pattern, fabric, and supplies, and Paige will guide you through the entire process—from cutting your fabric to assembling your pieces to applying professional finishing techniques (in-progress projects are welcome, too). 

This class is suitable for the advanced beginner to intermediate sewist. You should already be comfortable using a sewing machine and have completed a few simple projects such as a pillow, elastic-waist pants, or simple top. You should understand how to thread a machine, sew using a seam allowance, and be familiar with basic construction steps like hemming and pressing.
