Sew a Saltwater Slip Dress (1-Day Intensive)

Join us to make a super cute Saltwater Slip Dress from Friday Pattern Co!

The Saltwater Slip is a simple slip dress with adjustable straps that can be layered or worn on its own. Choose between two length options: above the knee, and tea length (with side slits). You can also add on optional side ties to add a bit of waist shaping!

Wear this slip over a tee shirt, under a sheer dress, or on its own! The pattern comes in sizes XS-7X and includes multiple cup size options (B/C and C/D). This is a pullover dress with no closures. After you sew your first dress in class, you'll want to make this easy-to-sew slip again and again!

In this one-day intensive workshop, you'll gain an understanding of sewing from a purchased pattern, AND you'll sew a super-cute dress, custom made to fit your body. You'll leave this class with the skills and confidence to tackle more garment sewing on your own.

You'll learn how to:

• Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit
• Work from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from tissue paper pattern pieces, and more
• Understand garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and trouble shooting
• Become familiar with sewing jargon commonly found in commercial patterns
• Cut fabric and assemble a garment the right way
• Make bias tape for a neckline
• Create adjustable straps
• Sew and attach side ties

Does NOT include fabric and thread-- All required materials will be available for purchase during class at a 10% discount.
