December 1st & 3rd

Level 1 : You can thread a machine and sew a straight line.
This is a rare opportunity to be lead through a sewing project by the designer herself! Join Ivana Bosek of the Portland-based brand Softy Supply in sewing her Cozy Bopeep pattern.
The Cozy Bopeep is a gender neutral hood that can be made to fit heads of all sizes. It’ll keep you warm and dry throughout the Pacific Northwest winter. Choose a water resistant fabric to keep the rain out!
This class is a great choice for those who seek guidance in sewing with technical fabrics or making their first wearable piece.
