Workshop Duration: Full Day

Description: Pattern Fantastique’s Aeolian Tee Shirt Dress is designed for knits but with a couple of minor modifications can be sewn in woven fabric too.  This class steps you through the changes required to sew this garment in linen, voile, double gauze, seersucker, chambray or light-medium weight cotton.

The Aeolian pattern comes with five different hem lengths, but in when sewn in a woven, it’s best in a top, tunic, knee-length dress or midi-length dress. 

In this class you will step through cutting out your pattern and make bias binding. Anna will take you through raglan construction and applying a bias binding facing to the neckline so that sits flat against your body - such a useful sewing skill! You will also learn to sew a deep hem.
