Using basic shapes and minimal measurements, you will design and make a one-of-a-kind jacket. Once the design is finalized, you will join strips of lovely rayons to create a unique fabric for your base. Vary the fabric widths to add interest. You can even bring some pre-embroidered swatches to include. Choose to join with visible or hidden rolled edge or flatlock with decorative threads. With a simple folding technique, you can even add pockets. Best of all it is all done on the serger. Use your favorite pin as a closure or leave it open. The sample was made with SewBatik® rayons and Diane of SewBatik® is ready to help you put your fabrics together for a beautiful garment. Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.

Supply List:

Optional: a few pre-embroidered or focus fabric pieces. Note: Rotary cutting mats will be available in the classroom.

Fabric requirements:

2—3 yds. Main fabric; 3 to 4—½ to ¾ yd. pieces contrasting fabrics; I highly recommend "Sew Batik" rayons at sewbatik.com for beautiful quality, beautiful drape, and beautiful design, that way we will both know you got the "right" fabric. Sew Batik rayon is not, however, required. Thread to match or the following colors will be available for classroom use: black, white, ecru, gray.

Note: You know your body and how you like your fit. Bring extra fabric if you prefer a looser fit.
Completion Level:
You should wear your garment at the end of class.

Thank you to these fine companies who provide continued support.
