CLASS FORMAT

The class will be taught LIVE in five weekly lessons (=9 hours), where I will demonstrate in real time everything you need to know!

You will receive an assignment at the end of each class to prepare over the week.

You will of course have the opportunity to ask questions during class, which I will answer live, plus each course member gets 30 minutes 1-on-1 support from me in a Skype session!

​

You will be required to purchase your materials and pattern separately. A complete list of materials will be emailed to you when you book your place.

The pattern used in this class is "Robe á la Française / Pet-en-l’air" by JP Ryan. Your material list will include a list of international shops who carry the pattern.

​
