Description:

It's finally here, the class you've been waiting for! Silk charmeuse is a gorgeous fabric that has a soft, lustrous drape. It looks luxurious because it is luxurious. It can be difficult to sew with, but Lynda will teach you the techniques she uses. She'll teach you how to lay out, cut and mark your pattern, how to sew a baby hem, sew basic seams, a French dart and other tips and techniques. You'll learn all the techniques needed to sew a blouse, but won't actually sew a blouse in the class.

Supplies:

  • Blouse/shirt pattern of your choice that has a collar, front placket, sleeve placket. (NOTE: This is so that you can make samples of the techniques taught along with Lynda. Consider using the smallest size of the pattern so that you're not using as much silk charmeuse, since it's so expensive.)

  • At least 1 yard of silk charmeuse, for samples (you can also use rayon challis as it handles the same)

  • Tissue paper

  • 1 yard silk organza to stabilize samples (you may use fusible instead of organza)

  • Polyester thread

  • Microtex or universal needles, #70
