This project can be taken right after the Fabrics & Sewing Basics Class. It is an easy, but complex enough project if you haven't sewn any clothing before. The project is zero waste, which means there will be no cutting leftovers (or very few) from the fabric we will use and the pattern can be used as a base for many design variations including tops, dresses and jackets.
