Pattern Rub-off Boot Camp

Saturday May 11

1:00 - 5:00PM

Do you have a garment that you love to wear? It's the perfect fit, or drape, and you just can't find another quite like it? Don't despair! You don't have to take it apart to duplicate it. Bring it in, and we will help you recreate it without tearing apart your favorite piece of clothing.

This class is now a bootcamp, and will be taught in ONE part.

June's bootcamp-Leggings

July's bootcamp - Knit Pencil Skirt

Learning to use more feet extends your ability to do fine creative work with your sewing machine. We will start with the basics- the zipper/cord foot and the blind-hemming foot- and work through as many new feet as we can master!
