Join us for a relaxing and creative full day of sewing, where you’ll make either the Sew Different Ripple Dress or Triple Tuck Smock dress. Whether you're a beginner or someone with more sewing experience looking to enjoy some sociable stitching, you'll leave with a beautiful handmade dress and a head full of new skills.
The Ripple Dress -The Ripple Dress is a loose-fitting, peasant-style frock, perfect for skipping through meadows!
It has a boxy bodice with a notched neck line and elbow-length raglan sleeves. The skirt is gathered with spacious cut-out pockets.
This everyday dress pulls on over the head with no need for a zip, and there are two lengths (knee length & midcalf) to choose from.
The Triple Tuck Smock Dress - A loose-fitting, easy-to-wear smock with three front pleats and elbow-length raglan sleeves for comfort. No zip needed—it slips on over the head.
