Henrietta Skirt Virtual Workshop

$100.00

The Henrietta Skirt from Spaghetti Western Sewing is a fun & fast make! So fast, that we will whip it up in one 3-hour construction class! The Henrietta features a flat panel front & back, with side yokes that are sewn into a curved gathered panel. All of this is cinched in at the waist with an elastic waistband. Or, if you want to do a hacked version, you can make it look like the last image, & put the side panels on the front & back as well as the sides. I will show you both options!

This is a 2-part class, with 4 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

Return Policy: Please note that there are no returns or refunds on workshops. The number of students is limited to ensure a good learning experience for each student, so when you reserve your spot, that is held for you, whether you attend or not. If you cannot attend the classes live during their scheduled time, students will still be able to learn by following along with the workshop recordings. Thank you for understanding!
