WARDROBE CAPSULES: It’s a buzz word (ok, term) you can just google, but we’re going to hold your hand to help you give it a try! After all, aren’t most of us sewing so that we’ve got a closet full of clothes that make us happy and make dressing fun? Or at least less stressful? Session One: We’ll share our wardrobe capsules and discuss what works for different bodies and why, body shapes, colors, function, and more. Homework: Go to your closet and answer the same questions for yourself – and have fun! Session Two: Come to class with your homework and we’ll all evaluate and help you make a plan that works for you and your lifestyle. Patterns will be suggested! Tuesdays 6:00 – 8:00 November 5, 12 |
