CLASS OVERVIEW
A classic shirt is a wardrobe essential! With long sleeves, softened shoulders and a relaxed fit through the body, this Everyday Shirt pattern is the perfect mix between sophisticated and casual. It is the ideal addition to your capsule wardrobe that will get worn year after year. Learning to sew a shirt teaches you a range of essential skills like sewing a placket, yoke and collar. Over this two day course Lauren will teach you step by step to sew a professionally finished shirt. Sew it up in a classic crispy poplin for a smarter look, or a slinky crepe de chine for a more luxurious shirt - it's a very versatile pattern!
Please note: to save time in the workshop you will need to cut your paper pattern pieces and fabric before the workshop. Your pattern will be sent to you 2 weeks before the class so you will have plenty of time to do this. We can advise on what size to pick if you need help.
