Confident Beginner: Moss Jacket, October 24 & 25

This class will run Saturday, October 24 & Sunday, October 25, from 10am-4pm each day (or earlier if finished).

THE CLASS

The Moss Jacket is the ultimate easy layering piece for your wardrobe. View A features an external front band facing and view B features a wide, folded collar. View A hangs open in the front and is ideal for casual or dressy layering. View B has long sleeves and can be worn as lightweight outerwear. Choose from two lengths for both the jacket and sleeves, offering many possible combinations of views. All views have front pockets and a back yoke detail. Moss can be made in many different fabrics to achieve a variety of looks!

You'll leave with a finished garment, a ton of new skills, and the confidence to start working on your next project.

We will be sewing on both a sewing machine and a serger. You will learn techniques for sewing on both machines.

This pattern is size-inclusive and designed to fit chest measurements up to 60 inches and hip measurements up to 62 inches.
