In this class we will work together to learn to sew a robe for 18" dolls. 

Day 1: 
Picking your fabric - we will discuss types of fabric and what fabrics are appropriate for this project. Students will need to purchase (or otherwise source) the fabric for their project between day 1 and day 2.

Day 2: Cutting your pattern - will will work together to cut our pattern/fabric. We will be discussing grains and directional patterns.If there is time we will begin sewing.

Days 3 & 4: Sewing days - we will be doing the sewing of our items this day. Your student will need access to a sewing machine (and adult supervision as necessary) this day. We should be able to do most of the sewing during class but your child may require a bit more machine time after class if they need to finish up.

Please note that this is a leveled class. Each student is required to know how to accomplish the tasks in the previous levels before beginning classes of a higher level as I will no longer be covering those skills in higher level courses. If students need help learning a skill they have missed in a previous level class please message me and I can point you to a class where we teach that skill or set up a private lesson to make sure the skill is learned.
