The Hinterland is your new favorite dress! This classic style can be customized for every style and season. We'll cover sewing bust darts, pockets, gathered skirts, set-in sleeves, bias binding, and button plackets. Students should have some experience sewing garments from a pattern. Those with less experience should choose a crisp cotton print or woven. More adventurous students can try a linen or rayon with more drape.

Instructor: Erin West

Materials:

Pattern for the Hinterland Dress from Sew Liberated (Paper copy or PDF; we will cut our pattern pieces in class)

Fabric for your size (prewashed)

All purpose thread to match

1/2 yd lightweight fusible woven interfacing (like Shape Flex)

1/2- 5/8" buttons (4-5 for the half placket)

Your working sewing machine (or rent one of ours) with manual and buttonhole attachment

You may want to bring your own basic sewing kit (fabric shears, clear ruler, tape measure, straight pins, seam gauge, seam ripper) but we do have shared tools available for use in the classroom
