6/12 - Necklines & Waistlines A SIT & SEW WORKSHOP w/Jan Bones - 9-4 pm - $140



Necklines must be perfectly smooth, even and flattering. Finishes may be invisible or be seen from the right side as part of the garment design. The same pattern may have different neckline finishes to give a whole new look. This is a techniques class and you will sew different full scale samples to create necklines in both knit & woven fabric. Your sample booklet will be a great reference for your future sewing. The waistline edges of skirts and pants may be finished in many ways. Sew a set of samples in this class to learn the best choices for your projects. Techniques for knit and woven fabric will be included. You will sew waistbands, elastics, facings, ribbons, linings because they are all possible solutions for comfortable & attractive finishes for day-wear & nightwear! Thinking upside down, the techniques in this class are great for cuffs and bands on lower edges of jackets & vests.

Lunch is included.

A $60 kit fee will be collected at the class.  It includes 2 notebooks for samples, Jan's 2 books "Anatomy of the Neckline" and "Anatomy of Waistline Finishes." and all pre-cut samples in fashion fabrics.
