In this 2 session class you will you will learn to make your test top (in the 1st session) then be custom fit by a Silhouette Patterns fitting instructor and sew up the final garment during the 2nd session. Various sleeve options - long, short, or sleeveless. Once you have the fit you can customize the details to make it your own; you can even make a cardigan!
