Everyone needs a cozy lounge robe, & the Lahja Dressing Gown from Named Patterns is the perfect choice. I have made multiple versions of this pattern for myself, & as gifts for loved ones. It’s classic, & great for any age, size, gender, & style!

Join me to sew it up in a one-day Sunday afternoon workshop. There will be no prep class for this workshop. Prep instructions will be emailed to you so you are ready by class time. We will be changing up the construction to sew it entirely with French seams & flat fell seams for a beautiful finish both inside & out!

This is a 1-part class, with 4 hours of class time.

WORKSHOP DATE:

  • Sunday, March 8, from 1pm-5pm Eastern

SUPPLY LIST:

  • The Lahja Dressing Gown pattern (bust 29 1/8-51 5/8”) by Named Patterns.

  • 3 3/8 - 6 yards of light to medium weight woven fabric. Required yardage depends on the size being sewn, the length chosen, & the width of your fabric. Ideal fabrics are linen, cotton, rayon, silk, & other similar fabrics. Waffle cotton, terrycloth, & other similar heavy fabrics can be used, but note that they will be a more challenging option. Also note: some waffle fabrics are knit & not woven. Please confirm the choice with Christine if you are unsure if it will work.

  • 1 1/2 - 2 yards of lightweight woven fusible interfacing.

  • Thread

TOOL LIST:

  • Sewing machine with straight stitches.

  • Iron & ironing board

  • Sewing needle for your fabric weight & type

  • Full sized scissors & small scissors for trimming (highly recommended)

  • Seam gauge or small ruler

  • Water soluble marking tool

  • Clear ruler, at least 2” x 18” (for putting your pattern pieces on grain during cutting)

  • Flexible tape measure

Please note: tools & supplies are sold separately & are not included in the class fee

SKILL LEVEL:

  • Advanced Beginner / Intermediate: This workshop is perfect for someone who has sewn a number of beginner garments in the past & wants to take on something a little more difficult. Because this is a one-time 4-hour workshop, we will move at a relatively quick pace. Please note this is not a “learn to sew” class.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Creating & sewing patch pockets

  • Sewing French seams

  • Sewing flat fell seams

  • Creating a self-fabric sash belt

  • Edgestitching & topstitching

  • Clipping & grading seams

  • Using a commercial sewing pattern

  • Reading & understanding commercial sewing pattern instructions

  • Printing & assembling a digital sewing pattern

  • Taking your measurements

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 is 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!
