Classic Tucked Jumper
Instructor: Susan Whitman
This jumper/sundress may be a little more challenging, but well worth the effort. We will start with a few 1/4" tucks on a block of fabric, then use a Louise yoke, Susan's very own round yoke, and an inverted pleat skirt to complete this classically styled garment. Size 3 to 8.



Thursday June 12 and Thursday June 19

Peek-A-Boo Blooms
Instructor: Trisha Smith
What a precious summer dress. The dress buttons down the back and has a cut out section that ties at the top. It has a small 1" ruffle at the bottom and all the upper edges are trimmed with a contrasting corded piping. The front is accented with a lovely bouquet of yo-yo flowers. Oh so sweet! She will love wearing it. Size 3 to 8.



Friday June 13 and Saturday June 21

Regatta Jacket
Instructor: Susan Whitman
Susan has created a classic double-breasted jacket and added a feminine touch with a gathered skirt and a fun floral lining. We will keep this piece neutral enough to go with most anything. Size 4 to 10.


Friday June 13 and Thursday June 19

Bit of Paris
Instructor: Lezette Thomason
Lezette was inspired for this challenging project by a dress this season from Paris. Redrafting a shift to button part way down the front features a contrasting pique button lap on a little striped top. Then the middle band of the dress features a machine-stitched curve with 3 colors of pearl cotton. The bottom straight tier has slits on the side for ease of walking and an array of little flags in ginghams and prints to match the colors in the strips. Mom and girls will love it! Size 3 to 10.

Saturday June 14 and Friday June 20

Lucy with Faggoting and Ruffles
Instructor: Lezette Thomason
Lezette has redesigned Lucy one more time for an up-to-date look featuring a ruffle that hangs loose from under the dress. The sage yoke and coral pique skirt are separated by machine faggoting using and oh, so cool Bernina foot in almost a cherry color. The dress lining and ruffle are a strip of sage, cherry coral, and yellow. Come and have a fun day redrafting Lucy, making a lined garment with ruffle and learning a new foot technique. After making this one with Lezette, you will want to make this dress again and again. Size 1 to 8.


Saturday June 14 and Saturday June 21

Fun Flowing Sundress
Instructor: Trisha Smith
The focus of this dress is pattern drafting. Have you ever had a pattern that you liked the top of the dress but wished the lower part was not straight, but had fullness instead? Well, that is what Trisha will teach you how to do in this class. This cute halter sundress ties around the neck. The front is accented with a fun detachable flower, which you will make in class. The dress is made from a fun, flowing fabric, and is lined. Available in sizes 3 to 8.
