Zippers, Darts and Pleats - Oh My!

Posted by Sarah on May 21, 2008

They go bump in the night - those pesky little tasks that make beginning crafters break out into a cold sweat. When I talk with many of our students, I am surprised to hear that they are scared of sewing zippers, pleats and darts!

Don’t be scared sewing newbies! Just like anything else in sewing these three items require a little bit of know how, but are not in any way out of your reach. That’s why the June Pattern-O-Rama class is The Betsy Ross Girlie Dress (formerly known as the simple dress because, well, it’s simple!).

This pattern has pleats, darts and a lapped zipper (whaaa?) plus it’s a very cute, wearable dress for Houston’s balmy summer. And the pattern is included in the class price - no having to order it or buy it from a retail shop - it’s there for you when you sign up and you get to take it home! YAY!

Check out the schedule to sign up!

PS: Did you see Threadheads last week? They made an awesome shrug using an old turtleneck and a serger…
