Spend the weekend in the POST studio! Join the sustainable, "me-made" movement as you sew your very own slow fashion staple from scratch!
We will guide you through the ins and outs of clothing creation as we navigate All Well Studio’s Sleeveless Box Top Pattern together. This easy-wearing boxy top is not just an ideal choice for sun-soaked days or savvy layering, it's also a remarkable lesson in garment making.
The All Well Studio Box Top pattern was designed so a complete beginner can use it to make their very first garment AND a seasoned sewist can whip it up quick and have a great time in the process. This pattern is for everyone!
We'll have a variety of fabrics for you to choose from, ranging in colors, patterns and texture. If you'd like to bring your own fabric, you will need 2 yards of a light to mid weight fabric (up to 5ish oz or 175gsm) that is 45"-60"wide. Avoid anything that is slippery (like satin or silk) or stretchy (like jersey).
Students will take home a Sleeveless Box Top, the full set of All Well Studio pattern files and instructions (which comes with 4 variations), and All Well Studio’s complete Hacking Guide with 14 hacking ideas and essential techniques.
Please bring your own sewing machine if you wish to learn on your own equipment or borrow a studio machine. Please select your preference when you checkout.
* No garment sewing experience necessary, however you should know your way around a sewing machine. This a great class for students who have taken our Sewing Machine Essentials workshop or have some (even minimal) experience sewing on a machine.
