JULY

=======================================================================
Let’s Make a Flattering Skirt!

Almost full, but there's room for one more.

Two 1- 1/2 Hours sessions - $50 
   ($10 non-refundable reservation required at Nob Hill Fabrics) 

10% discount on fabrics purchased for this class at Nob Hill Fabrics.

Wednesday, July 13th and Tuesday July 19th, 5:00pm-6:30pm

4 to 6 students, intermediate to beginning sewers (if you are at least 
somewhat familiar with your machine).

Brush up on your sewing (and fitting) skills in this workshop.
Students will be constructing a skirt using Simplicity 2451, selecting the view 
and length of their choice:
     http://www.simplicity.com/p-4470-misses-skirts.aspx

Choose between a slightly pegged, above knee or knee-length (with kick
pleat) skirt having diagonal side pockets and a faced yoke waist or a
6-gore, flowing skirt of knee or longer length with the same diagonal side
pockets and faced yoke waist.  This skirt pattern has been selected to give
students instruction and practice at hidden zipper insertion, "stay flat"
pocket installation and facing a waist instead of a using a traditional
waistband.  This pattern will be flattering to almost any figure type and
shape!

"The Classic Blouse that Fits!"  
     3 1-1/2 hour sessions for $55 
      ($10 non-refundable reservation required at Nob Hill Fabrics) 

10% discount on fabrics purchased for this class at Nob Hill Fabrics.

July 20th, 26th and 27th, 5:00pm-6:30pm

4 to 6 students, intermediate to beginning sewers ( you must be familiar with 
your machine).

Learn to construct and fit a classic blouse that goes under jackets
beautifully and can masquerade as a popular jacket/blouse.  Students will
learn to fit over the important bust area, apply a simple collar and place
buttons and buttonholes properly.

The pattern selection is Butterick 5538, and is available in a large
spectrum of sizes.
     http://butterick.mccall.com/b5538-products-12360.php?page_id=428&search_control=display&list=search   

The shoulder princess lines of this blouse allow for a wide range of simple 
alterations for large busts and curved backs, but still provide slimming and 
lengthening lines, good for all figure types!  The blouse has two collar views 
and 3 sleeve views.  Students may make the choices most appealing to themselves 
and their needs.
