Cabana Playsuit Virtual Workshop
I cannot think of anything more summer-ready than this Cabana Playsuit, designed by Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. Make it in a classic fabric for chic classic secret pajamas, make it in a fun fabric for a picnic, or sew it as a layer for over a bathing suit. Also: it has pockets! I think we all need at least 1 of these in our closets. Join me for this fun workshop!
This is a 4-part class, with 7 hours of class time.

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP DETAILS:
Workshops are taught by me, Christine Haynes, live from my home studio
Attendance is limited to ensure personal one-on-one attention
Workshops are led virtually through Zoom, a free video conferencing software that can be downloaded here
Students will need access to a computer, smart phone, or tablet with internet access to participate in the workshop (note: the bigger your screen, the easier it is to see the action!)
I teach using two cameras, so you can always see a close up of each step being taught, as well as have face to face interaction
A Zoom link & password will be emailed a day ahead of the first class session to the email address used in checkout, so be sure to type your email correctly upon checkout
Workshop sessions will be recorded so students that get behind, or need to miss a session, can rewatch the previous lesson & catch up
The focus of my workshops are on construction & technique. Fit is discussed, but due to the nature of Zoom workshops, fitting instruction is limited
