Simplicity 9739
Just in time for summer! Have fun sewing a custom made Apron Dress in a supportive setting. Originally released in 1972, this Simplicity apron dress pattern features only a few pattern pieces, plus, darts, straps, and a facing. These are all common details of clothing that every sewist should know. Let us guide you through the process of sewing this adorable apron dress. It can be worn alone or with a top underneath.

About the Class
PREP WORK:
Prior to the class, students must do the following.:
1) Pick up your pattern from the Easy Going Sewing Studio or arrange to have us mail it to you for $10. Please do this at least 10 days before class. (We can help you choose your size when you come for your pattern, or call us if you need help choosing at home.)
2) For best results, choose which pattern pieces you need and press them with a dry iron before positioning them onto your fabric.
3) Pin your pattern to your fabric, making sure that it is on-grain, and cut out your pieces. We recommend you cut your darts outward from the edge of your fabric.
4) Mark all the darts, dots, and other markings. Leave your pattern pieces attached if you’d like, so we can check them when you come in for the class.
5) Please give yourself at least two hours to cut out and mark your fabric.
6) If you need help with preparing and cutting, schedule a private two-hour session during the week, and we’ll help you.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
1) Skills learned at our Adult Beginner Clothing class, or some experience using a sewing pattern.
2) MUST be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine.
3) Students must be aware of basic sewing terms (i.e. ‘backstitching’, ‘right sides together’, and ‘seam allowance’)

SUPPLIES REQUIRED:
1) Fabric: cotton twill or light-medium weight denim, chambray, linen or linen blend.
**We can help you figure out how much fabric to buy when you come in for your pattern, or we can help you by phone if we mail it to you. We have appropriate fabric for sale here from $6-10/yd.**
2) Matching all-purpose thread (We recommend Coates & Clark or Gutterman Brands)
3) Your sewing kit (Fabric shears, extra size 12 or 14 universal sewing machine needles, extra bobbins for your machine, pins and/or clips, seam gauge.)

SUPPLIES INCLUDED:
1) Simplicity Pattern 9739 ($23.95 Value)
2) Interfacing
3) Sewing machine, but we encourage you to bring yours!
4) Iron and tools for pressing

Students should be able to complete all or most of their apron dress in class, but may need to sew the hem at home.
