Artist and designer Sonya Philip demystifies the sewing process while teaching you how to make Dress No. 3 from her pattern series "100 Acts of Sewing." This v-neck dress wears like a kaftan and has a long, relaxed fit, perfect for lounging inside or poolside. Sonya walks you through how to trace a pattern and cut out your fabric, then demonstrates how to adjust a sewing pattern to create two different versions of the garment: a shortened length with round neckline, contrast cuffs, and patch pockets, and the addition of a fabric belt and loops with a cute ruffle at the hem. Easy to sew and easy to wear, Dress No. 3 is beginner-friendly and gives you many options to fit your personal style. This pattern includes a size range of Small (32” bust) to 4X (53” bust).

This class was very helpful in the cutting and adjusting the pattern before pinning it on the fabric. The section on making the basic tape and sewing it to the neckline was explained clearly.

I like all of Sonya's courses. Her teaching style is easy to follow, the steps are complete and the patterns are great for all levels of sewing and a perfect opportunity to build a capsule wardrobe with the fabric all ready in your stash! Thank you Sonya!
