Your Dream Wardrobe Starts Today
Does the idea of sewing clothes make your brain hurt? In this class, we’ll sew a complete outfit of stylish and comfortable wardrobe staples from beginning to end using the Ruby Top and Luna Pants patterns from Made By Rae. You'll discover that you, too, can master the alchemy of transforming two-dimensional fabric to fit your three-dimensional body.
We'll start with reading the pattern and selecting your size, and learn essential garment fitting principles and finishing techniques along the way. You'll finish the class with two stylish and versatile pieces that you won't believe you made yourself!
