In this class, students will create a beautifully draped slip dress using the Simone Slip pattern. This project is perfect for beginners ready to level up into garment sewing and intermediate sewists looking to refine their skills with lightweight fabrics.

During class, students will learn how to read and prepare a commercial pattern, cut fabric accurately, construct clean seams, attach straps, and finish their dress with professional techniques. By the end of the session, each student will leave with a custom slip dress they can wear on its own or as a layering piece.

This is a fun, confidence-building class that teaches foundational garment-making techniques in an encouraging, guided environment.
