Now that you have learned to use your sewing machine and have sewn a few things, let's kick it up a notch! Sew a classic jean jacket using Simplicity 8845 or McCall's 8565 in this exciting three day workshop.

IMPORTANT: This class is for folks who are serious about learning to sew and are willing to prepare before class. At least one week before class you must come to Easy Going Sewing to pick up your pattern, get measured, and choose your fabric. You will then need to pre-wash your fabric and prepare your pattern pieces before class (this will take 1-2 hours tops.) Don’t worry! We’ll guide you through the process.

In this 3 day workshop, students will:
1. Layout, mark, and cut fabric
2. Apply interfacing
3. Construct a collar, cuffs, pockets, and more!
4. Learn top stitching techniques for denim
