Description
Mary Sue is returning for a three-day fiber arts jacket construction workshop! Each student will make a unique jacket using a pattern to fit their body. Mary Sue will teach sewing techniques to create a one-of-a-kind wearable art jacket. Her trunk show jackets will be available to try on for inspiration. Basic sewing machine knowledge is required. Mary Sue will help each student personalize their jacket fitting.
Supplies Needed:
Jacket Patterns- purchase using bust measurement for size. The pattern size has no correlation with retail sizing. You may bring more than one pattern.
Mary Sue uses Vogue patterns most often but you may choose any jacket pattern that fits your bust measurement. Here are some of her favorite Vogue patterns:
V8798 V8757 V1264 V1127
V8861 V8860 V8804 V8838
V8777 V1212 V8693 V8713
V7975 V8539 V1213
When viewing the pattern, look at the back of the envelope, to see the basic shape of the item. Some of these are very easy to sew; others are more of a challenge.
