Making a dress using couture techniques

About a week ago I signed up to take Susan Kahlje online class at Craftsy.com. Last night I watched the introduction to the class and printed some of the instructions, I am so excited to start on this! The pattern that is included in this class is Vogue 8648.


Right now I'm thinking I'll make a sleeveless full skirt version, but of course it will depend on which fabric from my stash I choose.

I love taking classes, any kind of classes! When I first moved to Maryland with my first job after college, the company I was working had the new hires in a two week training and I loved it. Once the class was done I started taking non-credit classes at Johns Hopkins University on art, music, history,etc. As I started to get really interested in sewing, quilting and knitting I took many classes. Of course once you master the basics it becomes harder to find classes that go beyond, that is why I'm thrilled with this class!

The first step will be making a muslin. I'll keep you posted!
