Sew a Pajama Set
POSTPONED! Future date TBA.
Tuesdays, April 23, 30, May 7 and 14, 6pm - 8pm
Presented by Megan Avery
Join us for our next sewing class to make your own Pajama Set. The Pattern company Closet Core Patterns describes their pattern as a way to "Elevate your lounging and sleeping game... featuring tailored details with a slouchy fit, they look just as good in bed as they do glammed up and on the town."
In this 4 week class, Megan will walk you through all the steps to completing your pajama top & bottom. This PJ workshop will teach you essential advanced beginner level sewing skills you can use for life. Beginners are welcome! A little prior sewing experience is helpful, but not necessary.
