This class is perfect for anyone ready to expand their garment-sewing skills while making something both practical and luxurious. Wrap yourself in comfort and style in our Bath Robe Sewing Class! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll sew a cozy, custom-fit robe for yourself or create a thoughtful handmade gift. Choose from soft cotton flannel, absorbent terry cloth, or smooth satin in colors and prints that match your personal style. Jessica will guide you step by step through the entire process, including assembling the robe, and adding finishing details like the collar, belt, and hems. By the end of class, you’ll leave with a beautiful, one-of-a-kind bath robe and the confidence to tackle similar garment projects at home. Skill Level: Students should have prior sewing experience, know how to thread a sewing machine, wind a bobbin, and follow a seam allowance. Techniques Learned: Basic garment construction, sewing patch pockets, finishing sems. Details: Please arrive with your fabric cut out. If you have questions about sizing or cutting, we encourage you to attend one of our Wednesday evening Sewcials that occur weekly from 6:30-9pm.
