Workshop is April 7-9th, 2017. If you're interested in a payment plan, please e-mail us at threelittlebirds.sewingco@gmail.com
Curvy girls unite! Join Cashmerette pattern designer, Jenny Rushmore for a full weekend of sewing & fun. Students will learn how to fit & sew Jenny's popular Harrison. This class is perfect for anyone wanting to get into garment making or those that need some help getting the perfect fit.
About the Harrison Shirt
Finally, the answer to your prayers: a fitted button-down shirt that doesn't gape over curves! The Harrison Shirt is designed with double princess seams for a uniquely curve-friendly fit and all the features of a classic shirt, including a two-piece collar, yoke, and placket, separate button bands, and buttoned cuffs. This pattern looks equally pretty in crisp Oxford cottons at the office or cozy flannels for playing in the snow!
A little about Jenny, in her words:
"I started sewing at the ripe old age of 30, but now I’m totally obsessed. It turns out that sewing is not only shedloads of fun but it’s also creative, technical, sociable, and takes over your life if you don’t watch out. You can read more about my journey and what I’ve learned here.
