About

We started a series of programs we call “Sew-Alongs.” What is a Sew-Along?  It is kind of like a sewing bee where a group of sewing enthusiasts get together and work on the same kind of project.  

The Fiber Arts Studio 'Sewing Programming Committee' selected some popular clothing patterns. People who want to participate will purchase their own pattern, fabric, and notions required to make the garment. Then, we will meet and work together to make the chosen garment. 

This April Sew-Along will be ‘The Porsche Dress’ pattern by Tina Givens. The Porsche tunic dress is fabulously fitted with darts, simple set in sleeve, and oversized pocket with flap. The optional drawstring detail is sweet and unexpected! 

Suggested Fabrics:  44" or wider fabric (XS - 2.75 yards; M, L -3 yards; XL, 2XL - 3.25 yards). Light to medium weight fabrics including cotton, cotton voile, linen, rayon, cotton/linen, or wool challis. One 10 inches X 3 inches scrap of fabric for pocket

Notions: Thread.

The pattern can be bought or ordered at Esther's Fabrics on Bainbridge Island.

OR

The pattern can also be purchased at Tina Given's website.

Men interested in participating could contact us about an alternative pattern: fiber.programming@bainbridgebarn.org

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner. Participants should have some experience with using a sewing machine.  Prior garment sewing experiences is not needed. Sewing on knit should not prevent you from trying this dress, even if you have never sewn on knit before.  Bring your own machine.  You may use a Studio Brothers sewing machine if you have taken the Fiber Arts Studio Brothers sewing machine orientation class.

Ages: Ages 14+ Welcome.

This Sew-Along is hosted by Terry Winer.
