WORKSHOP: Sew Garnet - Feb 3, 2024

Sew your own gathered top with sleeves using the Garnet Sewing Pattern. You'll learn how to sew gathers, a square neckline, tucks, a lined yoke, seam finishes, and - if time permits - some fitting tips in this workshop at Rae's studio in downtown Ann Arbor. Arrive with your pieces pre-cut; if there is enough interest, an optional evening BONUS cutting session may be offered at the studio on Friday Feb 2nd, or cut your pieces out at home. 

This is a 5 hour in-person workshop taught by Rae Hoekstra.

TIMES: 9:30 am - 3 pm (1/2 hour lunch break included)
