In this class we will work together to sew a dress form for 18" dolls. We will cut the pattern, sew the form, stuff it, and glue to the base. Each step will be demonstrated by the instructor as we walk through the creation together. The instructor will not be providing instructions on running a sewing machine in this class and students are expected to know how to sew a straight stitch on their machine.



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.
