Class Overview

Become sewing savvy with fit and finishing techniques from Diana Rupp of Make Workshop. In Sewing Studio, she'll take you step-by-step through two classic patterns — an Envelope Pillow and Naughty Secretary Skirt — applying methods you'll use again and again. Create the projects using patterns from her book "Sew Everything Workshop" (not included with this class), or substitute with patterns of your choice. Begin learning the basics with tutorials on zipper insertion, lining a skirt, adding darts, finishing with French seams and much more.
