Welcome to our very first Make of The Month Club class! Every month we will be inviting community members like you to sew a specific project. At the end of the month, you can send us photos of your make and be entered into a draw to win a fabulous prize. How fun is that? (For more info about the MOTM Club, click here.
For our first project, we are making the Studio Tunic by Sew Liberated! Come make this functional yet fashionable Studio Tunic with us! This is a 3 week advanced beginner sewing course that will help you build on your basic skills and elevate them to the next level. This simple garment is just the perfect piece to help you feel 'liberated' to make more garments in your sewing journey!
