3 Day Blouse Sew-a-long


  • CHESTNUT RIDGE SEWING 5079 Township Road 401 Millersburg United States (map)

During this three-day sew-a-long, we will design a blouse together and look at methods to modify the collar, sleeves, cuffs and length to get the look and style you want. You will take a basic blouse and transform it into something exceptional and uniquely you!

This class in intended for those that have already taken my Bodice fitting class. Others are also welcome understanding that we will not be working on fit issues in this sew-a-long. Class will be focused on pattern modifications and sewing techniques. Sewing experience is required.

This class will also include a field trip to Zinck’s Fabric Outlet on the second day.

Class Overview:
