Confident Beginner: Saundra Skirt, November 21 & 22
This class will run Saturday, November 21 & Sunday, November 22, from 9am-4pm each day (or earlier if finished).
THE CLASS
The Saundra Skirt features a flowy A-line shape, a comfortable elastic waistband, and roomy pockets. Its vertical panels create an elongating effect and allow you to embrace your inner patchwork goddess if desired. In this workshop, we will be sewing the simple view (no godets or lining).
You'll leave with a finished garment, a ton of new skills, and the confidence to start working on your next project.
This pattern is size-inclusive and designed to fit hip measurements between 32.5 and 66 inches.
SKILL LEVEL
This class is intended for Confident Beginners - you should know how to thread a sewing machine, wind the bobbin, and do basic stitching. It's ok if you haven't sewn a garment or used a sewing pattern before!
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
This class will cover the following skills:
✿ Taking your own measurements & interpreting a size chart
✿ Using and adjusting a sewing pattern
✿ Sewing an elastic waistband
✿ Sewing French seams
✿ Sewing inseam pockets
✿ Sewing a rolled hem
✿ And lots more!
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The sewing pattern is included in the cost of the class and will be printed for you when you arrive. You'll also receive the digital file (and instructions) so you can re-use the pattern as many times as you want in the future.
You will need to purchase fabric and notions in the shop before the class (and you should leave time to pre-wash your fabric). Come by and we'll help you pick out something suitable that matches your style! Lightweight woven fabrics are strongly recommended for this pattern.
If you have your own sewing machine and want to use it, feel free to bring it with you (just make sure you have all the components including bobbins, foot pedal, etc). If you prefer, you can use one of our studio machines.
This class will be taught by Taylor.
✿ Please note that our shop will be open to the public during this class.
✿ This class is intended for adults ages 16 and up.

Classes and private lessons are non-refundable.
As a small business, we rely on sewing classes as part of our financial strategy. Our classes often fill up far in advance, and it can be difficult to fill a spot on short notice.
Of course we understand that things come up (even last minute!), so we ask that you read and agree to this policy before signing up for a class.
If you are no longer able to attend a class you signed up for, please email us at hi@openstudiosewing.com to let us know. If your class has a waitlist, we will do our best to fill your spot. If we are able to fill it before the class date, we'll issue you a refund in the form of store credit or to your original payment method. Store credit can be used for retail purchases or for future classes, and does not expire.
If we're not able to fill your spot, we will not be able to issue a refund.
If you are in a multi-session class and need to miss a day, you will not be able to make up the missed class. You're welcome to work on your project at home or book studio time to work on your own during shop open hours, or a private lesson (depending on availability) to get support to catch up.
Thanks for understanding and supporting our shop! ❤️

All classes are held in person in our shop in St. Louis Park, MN.
